Job Description

Job Description

Collin County is seeking candidates to fill the position of Foster/Rescue/Adoption Coordinator. This position’s primary objective is to maximize the adoptions and foster placements of dogs, cats and other animals in the Collin County Animal Shelter. We believe that every animal deserves a chance at a home, and this position is critical to the success of our animal placement goals.

This position will be responsible for several areas relating to animal placement.

  1. Running the “in-house” county-run animal foster program, which includes determining qualifications, advertising, recruiting, and supervising a pool of qualified animal fosters.
  2. Forming and maintaining working relationships with animal rescue organizations, other animal shelters and community organization to form a network of partners to help us achieve our placement goals.
  3. Planning and advertising adoption events both independently and in conjunction with other events/organizations.

In addition to the animal placement tasks, the position will document, monitor and evaluate the outcomes of these activities, make recommendations relating to improvements or changes, and provide supporting information for grant writing to secure funds for foster/adoption programs. This position will be expected to actively engage visitors who are interested in an adoption and participate in that process as needed. Other duties as required.

This role requires three (3) to five (5) years of experience relating to municipal/county animal services, veterinary care, animal rescue/foster organization experience, marketing/outreach, or non-profit volunteer pool coordination. Valid Texas Driver’s License with an acceptable driving record is required.

Candidates must have either a level of knowledge normally acquired through four years of college resulting in a Bachelor’s degree OR substitute two (2) years of experience for every one year of college education.

You can read more about the comprehensive benefits package including medical, dental, vision, life insurance, and long and short term disability on the Collin County website.
