These emails include general inquiries, questions about specific Goldens, and adoption applications. We are currently seeking a volunteer to share responsibility for managing this inbox. The ideal candidate will have excellent written communication skills, strong attention to detail, and solid computer proficiency. You should be able to respond to emails with compassion and empathy, while maintaining confidentiality and respecting privacy. Full training and ongoing support will be provided by our team.
