Full Job Description

Full disclosure: This is a demanding, hands-on role that requires consistency, accountability, and a strong work ethic. Our team shows up on time, works hard, and supports one another every day. The animals in our care depend on that level of commitment. If you take pride in doing meaningful work and carrying your share, you will thrive here.

Animal Care Coordinators are responsible for supporting the day-to-day operations of the shelter by ensuring the health, safety, and overall well-being of the animals in our care. This position requires a dependable, accountable individual who can work effectively within a team environment and maintain consistent performance in a fast-paced setting.

Due to the nature of shelter operations, reliability and teamwork are essential. Staff must be present, engaged, and able to contribute to maintaining high standards of animal care and facility cleanliness at all times.

Minimum Experience Requirement:
Applicants must have at least one year of hands-on experience working with animals in a professional setting (such as a veterinary clinic, animal shelter, kennel, or similar environment).

Respond to phone calls and assist visitors with professionalism and courtesy

Handle animals of varying temperaments, including those that may be fearful, stressed, or reactive, using approved safety protocols

Qualifications

High School Diploma or equivalent required
Minimum of one year of professional animal care experience
Ability to safely handle both dogs and cats and interpret basic animal behavior
Strong attention to detail and ability to communicate effectively with team members
Physically capable of lifting up to 75 pounds and remaining active throughout the shift
Willingness to work a flexible schedule, including weekends and holidays
Valid driver’s license with reliable transportation

Work Environment

This position operates in a busy shelter environment that can be physically and emotionally demanding. Employees should be comfortable working in conditions that may include:

High noise levels
Exposure to cleaning agents and animal waste
Handling animals with varying medical or behavioral needs

Success in this role requires resilience, compassion, and the ability to work collaboratively under pressure.

Additional Requirements

Must be able to follow established safety and animal handling procedures
Must be dependable and maintain consistent attendance
Weekend availability is required
Holidays are shared among the team

Pay: From $14.00 per hour

Benefits:
