VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES
So you want to experience love first hand? Apply to be a foster parent today! If you need assistance with the cost of food, we can help out. Don't let money get in the way of providing homeless dogs a place to stay. We will pay the expenses, you provide the temporary indoor home. Fostering is one of the most rewarding experiences because YOU show a dog who was slated for death what it feels like to live again. Click below to fill out our electronic application and our volunteer coordinator will be in contact soon!
Foster Coordinator
We need a few dedicated people to help us as foster coordinators. This volunteer opportunity would oversee 2-4 foster families and communicate with them weekly. A coordinator would be a point of contact for a foster family if they had questions or needs. Also, the coordinator would get to know the foster families and be able to evaluate what types of dogs coming in would be a good match for them. The coordinator would then work with the President to make sure everything is going well and would give foster home updates. E-mail gbcr@mail.com if you are interested.
Applicant Screener
Do you love dogs but just can't adopt or foster? Do you live inside or even outside of the Cincinnati area? The applicant screening opportunity would be perfect for you! We are looking for someone to help us process applications by calling veterinary and personal references listed on the application. Also, you would look over the application to make sure it is complete and that it seems like a good match for the dog listed on the application. Once you have information about the applicant then you would report it to the individual completing the home visit/adoption. If this sounds like a way you can help, please e-mail gbcr@mail.com.
