Our Companion Animals department has a variety of innovative and exciting programs that focus on keeping pets in their homes, increasing adoptions, and reaching pets and pet owners in underserved communities.
We're looking for a team of volunteers to work on a project from home. Volunteers will gather information that will be crucial in creating an important, strategic document for our Pets Are Welcome campaign: a report that rates the largest apartment community companies on their pet policies.
The volunteers will conduct research on the Internet and by phone on the pet policies of specified apartment communities and document information on provided worksheets.
Restrictions:
- Must have own telephone capable of making long distance calls; calls are non-reimbursable.
