Please review the positions below and then submit our
- Animal Transporter DC to Laurel, MD: We are looking for individuals with their own car and a flexible schedule to help transport animals during weekday hours to vet appointments for their spay/neuter and illness appointments. Typically, this will mean picking up animals from DC in the morning to drop them off at their appointments in Laurel. Then, they will need to be picked up after the appointment and brought back to DC. Many of these appointments are outside the city where we are able to get discounted vet care in order to help as many animals as possible. Apply here.
- Cat Foster Assistant: This is a remote position! Volunteers in this position communicate with assigned fosters regarding foster pets, including about any health or behavior issues. We are looking for someone with great attention to detail, timely communication, and a personal desire to help fit the right rescue animal with the right foster!
- Case Manager: This is a remote position! Volunteers will be responsible for responding to new health forms/cases as they arrive in the VetCare inbox for dogs. You'll be corresponding with fosters/trial adopters and helping them triage various health issues. If a dog needs to go to the vet, case managers help send records and correspond with clinics. This role is a little more involved and time-consuming, as you'll need to stay up to date and respond to fosters in a timely manner. You may need to check the inbox throughout the day or at the very least once a day for any updates. Case managers work on each case until symptoms resolve or the dog is adopted. Knowledge on common dog vet care is preferred but not required. A willingness to learn is required;) The time on this would be between 10-20 hours a week.
- Foster (specify cats or dogs): This position is in-person and requires a minimum of two weeks. We are in great need of people who can give a temporary yet loving home to some of our cats or dogs. City Dogs & Kitties Rescue pays for all pre-approved vetting during the foster period and provides basic supplies like a collar, harness, leash, crate, etc. Fosters go through a basic training and are matched with pets who will suit their home best. Check out our foster page! Apply here!
