Dogs
Deserve Better Reps
Do
you long to make a difference for the chained dogs? Take on the
volunteer Area Rep role! You will be leading this crusade in
your area, and are encouraged to find other volunteers to work with
you. Dogs Deserve Better will provide brochures, flyers and letters
with your name and contact information. If interested in becoming
an area rep, please contact the DDB National Area Rep Coordinator:
Marie Belanger at ddbrepcoord@dogsdeservebetter.org.
Area
Rep Responsibilities:
-
As
an area rep, you will be an incredibly important resource for
your community. You will be responsible for getting back to concerned
citizens who e-mail or call about chained dogs in your area. While
you are not required to foster (it is encouraged, even one dog
at a time), we do expect you to be a resource for people who would
like to give up chained or penned dogs in your community. This
could involve going out to meet and evaluate the dog, take photos,
and then searching via e-mail and phone for foster homes or breed
rescues to help. When a dog is released to you, you are responsible
for having the caretakers sign an action form, for our protection
as well as an agreement that they will not chain or pen again.
-
It
is also your duty to post fliers and posters for DDB, attend tabling
events in your territory and to let local humane authorities,
shelters, and vets know that you are a Dogs Deserve Better rep
in their area.
-
Once
a month, you will need to provide the area rep coordinator with
a brief update of what you have been up to in your area and to
discuss your concerns, efforts, and achievements. This will help
us recognize what methods of education work best.
-
You
are also encouraged to recruit volunteers so you can pursue additional
activities such as fundraisers and presentations.
-
The
title of area rep is a serious commitment we at DDB realize
that you probably have other daily obligations, but it is essential
that you take the responsibilities of the job to heart and keep
us informed if you feel you no longer are in a position to handle
them.
-
Above
all, you will be expected to remember the important role you are
playing in the lives of animals nationwide, as well as in the
lives of people who will be better educated thanks to your time
and service.
Junior
Area Rep Responsibilities:
-
As
a junior area rep (If you are under the age of 18, you will be considered a junior rep), you will be an incredibly
important resource for your community. You will be responsible
for contacting local area reps regarding information from concerned
citizens who e-mail about chained dogs in your area.
-
It
is also your duty to post fliers and posters for DDB in your territory
and to let local humane authorities, shelters, and vets know about
the job you have taken upon yourself.
-
Have
your state, first name, and email address listed on the site.
Once a month, you will need to provide the national area rep coordinator
with a brief update of what you have been up to and to discuss
your concerns, efforts, and achievements. This will help us recognize
what methods of education work best.
Notice to all DDB Area Reps, Veterinarians, and Adopters: Dogs Deserve Better will pay only those expenses, including but not limited to veterinary expenses, that have been submittted in writing by a Dogs Deserve Better representative and pre-approved by Dogs Deserve Better. In the absence of pre-approval from DDB, the representative is personally responsible for all incurred veterinary and other expenses.
