Role Description - Transport and Transition Coordinator

How do we get Labs to Chicago? They arrive via transport by groups of volunteers that collectively drive many hours to reach the Chicago area. Once the Labs arrive, they will need to be transported to their foster homes, medical visits to our vets, and sometimes for Meet & Greets. The Transport Coordinator recruits a volunteer from our amazing pool of volunteer drivers and makes sure the dog gets from point A to point B. The ideal person for this position is organized, works well in a team environment, is willing to secure alternate transport methods if needed, and has the flexibility in their schedule to respond to emails and messages.  They will also have knowledge of initial dog introductions and/or be willing to learn and communicate proper technique to transport and foster home volunteers.  

The Transport and Transition Coordinator will:

• Recruit transport volunteers to participate in the transport and transition into the foster home for a foster dog
• Communicate details and updates with the transport volunteers and foster home volunteers prior to and during a transport run
• Communicate the proper introduction of a foster dog with a resident dog
• Collect any foster dog paperwork and upload it to our database program in a timely fashion
• Read and reply to emails addressed to the Transport Coordinator in a timely fashion
• Attend Coordinator meetings
• Provide monthly reports to Board
