We believe that every dog and cat, no matter their age, medical need, or behavioral issue, deserves a loving forever home. These hard-to-place animals tend to be overlooked in shelters and rescues across the country, and that’s why we started Core Paws. We provide a free service to 501c3 shelters, rescues, and municipal shelters - to showcase these animals on one central website.

Do you share our belief about animals? Are you technical, creative with great attention to detail? We are currently looking for a Volunteer Website Administrator to join our current Web Admin team. You will be joining a team of savvy digital marketers whose main mission is to help hard-to-place homeless animals across the nation gain the exposure and awareness needed to find a forever family.

As a Website Administrator you will email directly with our rescue and shelter partners, and will add new hard-to-place animals onto our website. You will also remove animals from our website when they are adopted. Copyediting of the bios sent to us and resizing of the animal's images is also required.

Each Web Admin is in charge of one specific day throughout the week, where he/she will dedicate time to updating our website with new animals that have been sent to Core Paws. The current need we are looking to fill is Wednesday/Thursday.
