About the volunteering opportunity
Dog mediator for our animal welfare organization in the home office
We are looking for support for our dog placement service. The placement work is very varied and responsible. In order to find the right home for our dogs, it is very important for us to carefully inform potential families. We are also the point of contact for our partner organizations, preliminary inspectors, transporters and authorities. After a successful placement, we continue to provide our adopters with help and advice over the phone. We support them for at least 3 months to help the dogs settle in before our adopter support team takes over the final aftercare. We are looking for motivated helpers for this varied task.
Your Tasks
What needs to be done?

- Correspondence with potential adopters: processing incoming adoption inquiries and applications
- Education and advice: informing interested parties and potential adopters about adoption, animal welfare, etc.
- Organization: pre- and post-adoption checks, drawing up protection contracts
- Master data maintenance: of adopters and animals
- Communication: with foster homes, sponsors, animal shelters, veterinary offices and transporters

Important note:
Important note:
We always have interested parties who initially want to help us, but then fail to fulfill their tasks. If you apply to us, please bear in mind that our animal placement service is a day-to-day operational business that runs continuously. We have a team in the animal mediation area (separate dog and cat mediators), tasks can be agreed and distributed. We need a high degree of reliability in animal placement, as it is not least a service. If you have between 3 and 5 hours a week for us, the work is easy to do. More is also possible if you can spare the time. Working and coordinating as a team is very important to us, despite working mainly virtually - we are an association and we live this. We also offer regular association meetings where we can see each other and develop the association further. However, your cooperation is not regionally bound to the Rhine-Main area.
Important notice
What can you expect?
