Volunteer Foster Coordinator

Company Description

Mutternity Project is a nonprofit dog rescue dedicated to saving the most vulnerable: pregnant dogs, new moms, and their puppies. Our mission is to give these mothers a safe place to rest, heal, and raise their babies, while ensuring every pup grows up healthy, loved, and ready for a forever home.

We believe that when you rescue a mom, you rescue an entire family. By focusing on mamas who are often overlooked in shelters, we not only prevent unnecessary euthanasia but also break the cycle of neglect and abandonment.

Through a network of compassionate fosters, volunteers, and partners, Mutternity Project provides medical care, safe housing, and support until each dog finds their happily ever after. Beyond rescue, we’re committed to building a strong foster community, educating dog parents, and raising awareness about the importance of adoption.

At Mutternity Project, every mama matters—and every puppy deserves a chance at life. 

Role Description

The Foster Care Coordinator plays a vital role in ensuring the smooth flow of dogs through the our foster system. This role focuses on recruiting and supporting foster families, coordinating logistics, and keeping all systems updated so every dog receives timely care and placement.
