Currently Accepting Applications for...
Animal Care Asisstant
Are you a cat person? We have cats in several different areas of our shelter and all need food, water, clean blankets and a clean litter pan every day. If you would like to work with the cats in our care, you might consider applying for an Animal Care Assistant position. We currently have a part-time position available.
Volunteer Data Entry Assistant
The Data Entry Asisstant is a master of databases! This person is responsible for data entry on all volunteers, produces monthly and quarterly reports, maintains distribution lists for email, and also oversees and trains data entry volunteers. Advanced knowledge of Excel is a must, knowledge of Raiser’s Edge and Volgistics a plus. This is a part-time position working 20 hours a week.
Kennel Technician
If you enjoy being more hands-on with the animals and are interested in animal care, behavior and health, you might consider applying for a Kennel Technician position. This primarily involves cleaning and caring for our canine shelter guests and requires strong dog handling skills. Hosing, scrubbing, feeding and laundry — oh my! This is a fast-paced, noisy environment and requires you to be able to stand for long periods and lift and carry up to 50 pounds.
For Future Consideration
