Overview:
Do you love travel, have experience handling animals (especially cats and dogs) and thrive in a fast-paced environment? Are you interested in a flexible and rewarding role, vital to our life-saving mission? If so, we have the perfect position for you!
As a contingent driver for our Animal Relocation team, you will meet animal welfare professionals across the country and fill an important role in creating opportunities for animals. It's hard work that takes a special person, but there is no better feeling than knowing you personally and directly improved outcomes for an animal.
Who We Are
The ASPCA®'s (American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) Animal Relocation team is responsible for transporting more than 35,000 dogs and cats each year.
