Position Overview

We are seeking a dependable, motivated, and accountable Kennel Operations Manager to oversee the daily operations of our kennel facility. This is a hands-on leadership position responsible for maintaining the health, welfare, cleanliness, organization, and operational readiness of all kennel areas.

The ideal candidate will be self-motivated, have a strong work ethic, and be capable of working both independently and as part of a team. This position reports directly to the Branch Chief and requires someone who can take ownership of their responsibilities while maintaining a high standard of care for our dogs and facility.

Essential Duties & Responsibilities

Oversee the daily operation and condition of the kennel facility.
Conduct routine health checks on assigned canines.
Administer medications, vaccinations, heartworm tests, and other preventive treatments as directed.

Assist with shift coverage and operational needs when required.
Maintain professional communication with staff and management.
Ensure the kennel remains safe, clean, organized, and operationally ready at all times.

Work Environment

Requirements

Previous experience working with dogs, kennels, boarding facilities, veterinary clinics, shelters, or similar environments is preferred.
Ability to safely handle dogs of various breeds, sizes, and temperaments.
Strong organizational, communication, and problem-solving skills.
Ability to work independently and manage responsibilities with minimal supervision.
Valid driver's license with an acceptable driving record.
Ability to lift 50 pounds or more.
Comfortable working indoors and outdoors in varying weather conditions.
Must be dependable, professional, and punctual.

Schedule & Availability

Full-time position.
Travel is a required part of this role.
Weekend, evening, and holiday work may be required.
Must be available for on-call situations and emergency call-ins when operational needs arise.
Must be willing to cover shifts when necessary to ensure kennel operations continue uninterrupted.

Opportunities to Take on Additional Responsibility and Leadership Roles

We are looking for individuals who maintain a positive attitude, communicate effectively, accept feedback, take initiative, support teammates, are dependable, and take pride in their work.

What We're Looking For

We are seeking someone who takes ownership of their work, pays attention to detail, communicates effectively, and understands that the health, safety, and welfare of our dogs come first.
