Foster
Sometimes we need a little help when dogs arrive without an approved adopter, or in cases of emergency when an adopted dog must be rehomed. Join our team as a foster and help make a difference in a furry life by giving them a warm, safe, loving space to decompress and learn to love while we work on finding their furever homes. We do our best to match your needs with the dogs’ needs. NOTE: WCP will cover all foster costs.
Foster Coordinator
Assist in approving fosters by reviewing applications, contacting landlord/vet offices, conducting phone screens and setting up home visits. Send out foster requests and facilitate meet-and-greets. Conduct monthly check-ins with fosters.
Accountant / Bookkeeper
Have experience with bookkeeping? We desperately need you for as little as 1 hour a week1
