  • Developing and leading outreach programs to engage, support, and educate the community

To be successful in this role you'll need to have (minimum qualifications):

  • Certified in Animal Behavior
  • Familiarity with animal behavior, specifically in undersocialized dogs
  • Experience in animal welfare

We'd love it if you already had (desired qualifications):

  • Experience with shelter software (PetPoint)
  • Open intake shelter experience
  • Fear Free Certification
  • Veterinarian Technician Certification / Licensing

What you can expect from us:

  • Regular supportive feedback
  • Career growth
  • A comprehensive compensation package including:
    • Medical benefits at no cost to you
    • Dental & Vision benefits at low cost
    • FSA
    • 401K with match
    • Student loan forgiveness eligibility
    • Performance pay raises
