Description: 
Visit prospective foster/adoption applicants in their home environment to assess safety and suitability for adoptable pets. 
Responsible for reviewing program requirements and ensuring proper protocol is met during each stage of the process. 
The time commitment for this position is approximately 3-4 hours per week but can vary week by week depending on how many interviews you are needed for. Note that this position is a progressive role, and all volunteers must finish the home visit orientation prior to placement on the schedule. You will start as a secondary and move into the primary role once thoroughly trained and feel comfortable taking the lead during the in-home interview process. Home visits typically include the primary home visit volunteer, secondary and the foster parent who accompanies the animal in care. 
Responsibilities: 
● Reviewing all adoption applications 
● Contacting applicants and fosters to coordinate a home visit time that suits all parties 
● Review with foster and home visit volunteers if there are any concerns throughout the process 
● Be the liaison between fosters, volunteers and adoption applicants 
● Complete a report after the HV that requires approval from administration before the applicant can progress 
through the application process. 
● Follow up towards middle of the week and ask their intentions for adoption 
● Set up adoption appointments at TAGS, reminder to bring all TAGS supplies back 
● Review all agreements with applicants and receive signatures 
● Travel to each applicant place of residence to hold initial and follow-up interviews 
● Help to train new HV volunteers as they job shadow 

The Meet & Greet is Step #1 in the adoption process.  It’s the first meeting between an adoptable dog and his/her potential adopters, and our opportunity to see how they interact with each other.  The M&G Volunteer chairs the meeting, supports the foster, provides information to the applicants, assesses the applicants, and provides feedback to the Adoption Team.   You would be responsible for preparing for the meeting by doing the set up, greeting the applicants, interviewing the applicants and providing a report back.  Training is provided for this role and initially you would be working with another volunteer.  All meet and greets are done in person at the TAGS facility in Blackstock.
