Gratitude Team Volunteers

Save to Favorites

The Animal Pad all-breed dog rescue is searching for a few more volunteers to join our Gratitude Team! We always want to ensure that all of our donors, adopters and fosters, venues, and partners feel appreciated and know how grateful we are! It's so nice to receive a card in the mail these days, especially a hand written one. Since we are 100% volunteer run and donation based, a thank you via mail (or e-mail) goes a very long way and really makes a huge difference!

Each department under the Gratitude umbrella has its own manager that the Director of Gratitude (DOG!) oversees. For example, Adoptions has a dedicated Gratitude team member who is responsible for thanking Adopters, Foster Team has a dedicated Gratitude team member, and so on. We are looking for at least one volunteer to handle writing 'thank you' notes to our amazing monthly donors (aka the "TAP Pack"). Ideally, these volunteers could also assist our Director of Gratitude with 'thank you' notes for one-time donations received through our website.
This role will involve heavy note writing, as the majority of our 'thank you' notes are handwritten notes that are mailed out, so legible handwriting is a must!

All needed supplies (TAP 'thank you' cards, stamps, envelopes, etc.) will be provided, as will instruction/training. Since this volunteer role is done remotely, you do not have to be local to San Diego to join our team!




We can do like 2-3 depending on volunteer interest! Mainly right now I’m really wanting to throw together some kind of thank you/happy holidays/happy new year mailed to all of the fosters that have helped out this past year! Catalina and Anna have been super busy with party stuff, so we haven’t gotten to come up with much of a game plan yet, but planning on it hopefully after this weekend!She did let me know that she’d prefer local for the physical cards and that Nas is the exception now since she’s been doing stuff with her for a while haha but we can always think about down the line people that are out of area that could maybe help with digital/email thank yous and stuff!
