Animal Caretaker & Medical Specialist

ABOUT THE ASHER HOUSE

The Asher House is a registered nonprofit sanctuary based in Salem, Oregon, dedicated to rescuing animals that have been discarded or unwanted and giving them a life of comfort, love, and adventure. For over two years, Founder Lee Asher traveled across the country promoting dog adoption and spotlighting shelters and rescues nationwide. After the loss of his own dog, Lee set out to fulfill a lifelong dream: creating a sanctuary where animals could feel treasured, protected, and free. In late 2020, he found the property that would bring that vision to life. Today, The Asher House is on a mission to make the world a better place, one rescue animal at a time — helping people have better days and animals find their forever homes.

ABOUT THE ROLE

As a Companion Animal Medical Specialist, you will play a crucial role in supporting the care and well-being of animals, including their medical health and wellbeing. Your responsibilities will include assessing, monitoring, and providing treatment under proper supervision for companion animals under your care, as well as providing daily care and enrichment for the animals. You will work closely with a team of animal care professionals, to implement medical treatment plans that support the physical and mental health of the animals and carry out the general caretaking of the animals. You will follow proper protocols and procedures, complete all tasks in a timely manner, and work alongside the companion animal team in a positive and collaborative manner. This position requires much of the time to be spent outdoors and a strong desire to be part of a team setting. This unique hybrid role combines hands-on animal care with medical support responsibilities, ensuring the overall health, safety, and happiness of the animals in our sanctuary. The ideal candidate will have experience in both companion animal caregiving and veterinary medicine and be comfortable working in a dynamic environment.
