GRRoW is looking to add another member to the Intake Team. Volunteers on this team are very important because they are the first contact a family has when thinking of surrendering their Golden. Primary main duties include:

- Two-week rotational shift (typically every few months), checking surrender hotline and surrender emails.

- Work with surrendering families to determine if surrender is the best option, and if so, complete the Intake Form on the Golden (online document).

- Notify Assessment Coordinator (AC) and Foster Coordinator (FC) (through email and database) that a golden has been surrendered and needs to be assessed (then FC begins to search for a foster home).

- Forward any pending surrenders to Intake Team after your two-week shift is complete.

If you are interested, please submit a letter of interest to GRRoW Secretary Jan Sabella, by July 2, 2010. If you have questions or would like more information, contact Intake Coordinator Cheryl Krueger at criterz@live.com.
