Animal Care Specialist

Pay: $14.00 – $15.00 per hour
Shifts: Morning, afternoon, WEEKENDS A MUST (4–8 hour shifts)
Love Animals? Hate Desk Jobs? Perfect.This is not a glamorous gig. There are no white lab coats or TikTok puppy cuddles all day. This is the front line of animal care—dirty, stinky, hard work that truly saves lives. If you’re passionate about animals and tough enough to handle the grime, we want you on our team.
What You'll Actually Do (Yes, Every Day):
- Scrub, scoop, and sanitize: Clean dog kennels, cat manors, litter boxes, floors, food bowls, and mystery messes with military precision.
- Feed and water: Keep our furry residents full and hydrated—with zero spills if you're lucky.
- Play nurse: Administer basic medications and monitor health and behavior.
- Matchmaker magic: Help adopters find their forever pets by showing animals, sharing their personality quirks, and making love connections.
- Keep the place spotless: Shelters don’t clean themselves. It’s your job to keep everything disinfected, organized, and looking sharp—because lives depend on it.
- Pitch in everywhere: Dog kennels, cat rooms, front desk—if there’s a mess, you’ll be there. If something breaks, you’ll grab the mop, wrench, or peanut butter Kong and fix it.
This Job is For You If:
- You’re not afraid to get drenched in drool, sweat, or the occasional mystery splash.
- You can lift 50 lbs
- You’re 18+ and legally eligible to work in the U.S.
- You have a strong work ethic, thick skin, a soft heart, and a killer sense of humor.
- You love animals and people—even the grumpy ones.
Perks of the Dirty Job:
- Employee discount
- Flexible schedule
- The joy of helping animals find their second chance
If you're ready to work your tail off (literally), get dirty, stay sweaty, and still smile because you helped a scared animal feel safe today—this is your calling.
