Our Small Animal Team Needs Your Help!
The ADHS Small Animal Team is in need of administrative help. A foster care coordinator ensures that our domestic rabbits have a great temporary home while waiting for their new furever family! This involves taking responsibility for vetting potential foster homes for suitability, preparing and organizing all necessary supplies for foster homes, including replenishment, managing our supply inventory and ensuring all paperwork is completed, signed and filed.
ADHS also needs assistance with small animal adoptions. This includes responding to application emails, arranging meet and greets, handling adoptions and adoption paperwork and following up post-adoption to assist and answer questions.
Have questions? For more information on these rewarding roles, email smallanimalsadhs@gmail.com and chat with our small animal admin team.
