Job Type: Volunteer
Location: Home-based
Hours:
Paws and Tails Adoptions is a volunteer-based, no-kill animal rescue organization. We seek to find loving forever homes for the animals we rescue no matter what it takes.
Position Description
Foster homes provide a safe, secure environment for our animals while awaiting adoption, and allow the animals to live in a normal home environment. Each animal is evaluated while in foster care (personality, behavioral issues, health issues, special needs, etc). The foster home’s evaluation is critical to determine how each animal interacts with people and other animals, and what kind of specialized care may be needed.
As a Paws & Tails Foster Care Provider, you are responsible for the temporary care and shelter of foster animals. Typically, animals can remain in foster homes for several weeks to several months, but we cannot guarantee an animal will be ready for adoption or adopted in a specific timeframe.
Specific Responsibilities
- Clean cat litter or small animal litter/shavings daily; provide an appropriate outdoor area for dogs to go to the bathroom, and clean up deposits
- Keep track of veterinary appointments and transport the animal as necessary
- Provide adequate exercise, playtime and socialization for the foster animal
- Provide information regarding the animal’s well-being to the rescue
- Evaluate the animal’s personality, temperament and needs and communicate this and any recommendations to the rescue
- Communicate any changes in the animal’s behaviour, appetite or health the rescue immediately
- Provide an appropriate environment for the animal
- Provide an indoor ONLY environment for cats
- Allow potential adopters to visit your home along with a representative from the rescue as required
- Administer medications according to the veterinarian’s instructions if required
Interested volunteers should send their cover letter and resume to pawsandtailsfundraising@gmail.com with "Foster Care Provider" in the subject line.
