Greyhound Rescue Holland – join the adoption team
Greyhounds Rescue Holland is looking for fellow volunteers joined the adoption team.
The adoption team mediates adoption of dogs (greyhounds and podencos) from the Spanish shelters. This means a lot of contact with the prospective adoptive parents and contacts of the Spanish shelters.
Adoption Team volunteer is a tough job that depends intensity in terms of the number of applications running adoption. It is important that the work between the members of the adoption team is well distributed and that consulted regularly via whats app and phone.
But asking volunteers to make a house call to potential adopters, assessing adoption applications and decide on part of this task.
The adoption team always placed the interest of the dog first.
