Adoption Counselor / Adopt-a-Pet Assistant

Save to Favorites

Transport the animals to and from the shelter to the offsite location.
Walk the dogs and keep them out of their crates as much as possible.
Represent the organization and answer questions.
Interview, evaluate, and match prospective adopters with the right animal.

We are extremely careful about placing the right animal in the right home, so this position requires extra training beyond the basic orientation. To qualify for this volunteer opportunity, you must:
attend basic orientation;
study the training packet given to you at basic orientation and be very clear on terminology and adoption rules;
assist with Adopt-a-Pet until you feel comfortable doing it on your own, and the head adoption counselor feels you are ready;
have a thorough understanding of the adoption process and requirements;
commit at least one Saturday a month.

Offsite adoptions are our most successful means to place our precious animals in permanent loving homes. As an adoption counselor, you will be involved in a crucial process to the success of our shelter. It is a huge responsibility, yet most rewarding. We regularly take our dogs and cats to pet stores and area merchants on weekends in hopes of finding them homes.

These Adopt-a-Pets occur on Saturdays at various pet stores and merchants around the city. Locations are typically announced by the Tuesday preceding the event.
