Interested in getting involved? Here are some opportunities to join the team.

Adoption Events.

Do you enjoy snuggling up with some sweet pups? Talking with people about how amazing dogs are and how lucky their future families could be? We need awesome volunteers like you to help us at our adoption events! If you have a few hours to share on the weekends, we’d love to have your help handling dogs and ensuring the safety of our pups, volunteers, and the public. Must be 18 years of age to volunteer at adoption events - if you’re under the age of 18, a parent must accompany you the entire duration of the event.

*Please note, due to COVID-19, adoption events are subject to change to ensure the safety of our community, animals, and potential adopter.

Transportation.

Do you have a car you’re open to sharing with a pup (or two) in need? We often need help transporting our pups to and from vet appointments, events, or foster homes (or maybe to their furever family!). If you’re in the greater LA area and enjoy some quality time in the car with a loving pup, you’re just what the vet ordered! Flexible schedules work great with this volunteer position as these requests can’t always be planned in advance, but it’s not required.

Fundraising.

The HIT Living Foundation is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization which means we rely on donations from our amazing community to support our efforts in saving and rehabilitating dogs in need. If you’re a creative go-getter and/or enjoy planning events - digitally or in-person - we invite you to start a conversation! There’s no idea too big or small, wild or tame to help shed light on our mission and raise funds for deserving pups.

HIT Living Ambassador.

Be a HIT Living Ambassador! As an ambassador, your outgoing and friendly personality will help us tell our story to the community and be at the forefront of growing our community, helping raise awareness to our mission of providing for animals and humans in need, and living in Honesty//Integrity//Trust.

Foster Coordinator.

Join our Life Saving team as a Foster Coordinator. Foster Coordinators are responsible for reviewing, approving, and setting up foster homes for dogs in the HIT Living Foundation. Problem-solving, organization skills, and the ability to work under pressure last-minute changes, shelter pulls, and/or other issues come up almost daily and require immediate attention and a resolution. Additional skills for this position include a basic understanding of being a dog owner and training, working knowledge of and experience with Google - the drive, excel, word, and calendar, as well as the ability to quickly pick up database management systems. Experience with adoption websites is a plus but not required. This is a remote volunteer position but we prefer volunteers are local to the greater LA area as we may ask you to be present at adoption events, transportation, and/or vet visits.

Foster Medical Liaison.

The Foster Medical Liaison team will work closely with the Foster Coordinators, Fosters, and our Vets and manage scheduling vet appointments and working as a liaison between the rescue group and any vet with which the HIT Living Foundation works. In this position, you’ll be responsible for approving vet appointments, documenting all vet appointments before they’re scheduled and the post-appointment receipts, responses from the vet, medication, etc. The Foster Medical Liaison will be the point of contact for fosters who have any questions regarding the health and well-being of their foster dog. Examples of questions from fosters include but are not limited to - “is it ok for my foster dog to eat grass,” “does this rash look ok,” “my foster dog is sleeping xx amount of time, is that normal?” Experience working in the medical field (human or animal) is a big plus but not required. You do, however, need to have an understanding of what is and isn’t ok for/with dogs as well as their health or signs that something could be medically wrong with an animal.

Adoption Coordinator.

The Adoption Coordinator is primarily focused around promoting the adoption of dogs in the HIT Living Foundation. In this role, you will work directly with the Foster Coordinators, Social Media team, Event Coordinators, and Marketing. The Adoption Coordinator responsibilities include, but are not limited to - reviewing and incoming adoption applications, talking with approved applicants and conducting home-checks, working with the Marketing, Social, Event and Foster teams to promote available dogs for events and other initiatives, working/coordinating with both the Foster and Marketing teams to provide accurate information on all available animals and images to post on adoption sites and other surfaces, scheduling and conducting follow-up calls/emails/visits with new adopters. You must have excellent communication, organizational, and time management skills.  Additional skills for this position include a basic understanding of being a dog owner and training, working knowledge of and experience with Google - the drive, excel, word, and calendar, as well as the ability to quickly pick up database management systems. Experience with adoption websites is a plus but not required. This is a remote volunteer position but we prefer volunteers are local to the greater LA area as we may ask you to be present at adoption events, transportation, and/or vet visits.
