Adoption Coordinator

 This position does require that the candidate is committed to being a JRTRO
team member, working as part of the team, keeping us informed about any
illnesses or absences and must be committed to ensuring the adoption process
is followed through. Support is always available if you have questions or
problems.
 Primary overall responsibility is to be the main liaison with adopters and fosters
throughout the adoption process
 Makes the initial contact with the applicant and would monitor the process until
complete (which may mean following up on pictures and vet references),
assigning a volunteer to interview (following up if necessary) and sending the
completed file (which Jill would compile) to the dog's foster and ensuring a meet
and greet has been arranged so Jill can prepare and send out the adoption
package.
 Do follow up with the foster parent to confirm that the dog went home after the
meet and greet and follow up if the signed agreement and/or adoption fee has
not been received in a timely manner.
 Another important aspect is decision making. When multiple applications come in
for a specific dog, determining (with Jill and foster team, if applicable) which is
the "winning" application. This would mean that other applicants would have to
be emailed and told they were not chosen to move forward (keeping in mind that
they still may be good applicants for another dog). This position also requires the
task of informing unsuccessful candidates that their applications were not
approved.
 As for time commitment, it all depends on the number of dogs in foster. When
there are 40 and multiple adoptions in progress, it is often hectic. When there are
10 or so (appropriate for a small rescue), it can be managed without expending
too many hours.
 Will be required to interview candidates and do adoption follow ups on occasion.
