About the role
ARF rescues, cares for, and finds adopters for over 100 dogs and cats a year and engages in community outreach and humane education. We are staffed mostly by volunteers. Join our mission by staffing the front desk at the Shelter. You will work mostly indoors answering phone calls, greeting citizens with appointments, making follow-up phone calls, preparing paperwork, and copying. We will train you on our mission, important information, and processes. Shifts needed include 8 am to noon, and noon to 4 pm, Monday thru Friday. Weekends from 10 am to 1 pm. We like volunteers to commit to a set schedule, but you don't need to cover all the shifts - we can divide the times during the week among several volunteers.
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
