Please read the whole post before applying.
We have a 1 full time kennel technician position open, and 1 part time position opening up soon.

We will provide on the job training and guidance for the right candidates. Please keep in mind that this job is not glorious by any means. It is extremely emotionally and physically exhausting. Some responsibilities include cleaning dog kennels & cat cages, medicating when necessary, loads of laundry and cleaning/mopping, exercising and socializing animals, feeding animals, communicating with adopters, tending to our animals every need, and yes, cleaning lots and lots of poop! Did we mention that this is not a glorious job?? You will also help out with fundraising and adoption events.
We are looking for folks with a good attitude and ready to take on everyday as a team player and be the best we can be for the animals in our care. You must be physically able to handle/walk large dogs, and heavy (50 lbs +) bags of food and litter.
Shifts are typically 8am-4:00pm. Weekends and holidays are required on a rotating schedule. Pay starts at $8.75/ hour.
We encourage all to apply, but with the understanding that this is a very unique job and not everybody is cut out for it. You must have a big heart and tough skin!
