Title: Adoption Specialist

Department: Adoptions

Position Reports to: Adoptions Manager

FLSA Status: Non-exempt

The Adoption Specialist plays a critical role in the success of SPCA Cincinnati’s Over-the-Rhine Adoption Center by serving as an ambassador for the organization and creating a welcoming, positive experience for visitors, volunteers, adopters, and community members. Adoption Specialists must be comfortable interacting with a diverse range of people in an urban environment, including visitors, adopters, volunteers, community partners, and individuals from various cultural, socioeconomic, and personal backgrounds in the Over the Rhine area. The ability to communicate effectively, demonstrate empathy and professionalism, and build positive relationships with people from all walks of life is essential. Adoption Specialists are expected to remain approachable, respectful, and solution-oriented while representing SPCA Cincinnati.

Adoption Specialists utilize a conversation-based, open-adoption approach to build relationships with potential adopters, helping to match pets with families that best fit their needs and lifestyles. This position requires strong communication, problem-solving, and interpersonal skills, including the ability to professionally manage difficult customer interactions, de-escalate conflicts, and navigate sensitive situations with empathy, patience, and respect. Adoption Specialists are expected to exercise sound judgment and make thoughtful decisions when addressing challenging customer concerns, animal welfare issues, and operational situations while maintaining SPCA Cincinnati's policies, values, and commitment to excellent customer service. In addition to facilitating successful adoptions, Adoption Specialist must maintain the highest standards of professionalism while balancing animal care responsibilities with customer service responsibilities throughout the day. Monitor animal health and behavior, assist with daily husbandry tasks, and promote responsible pet ownership, all while supporting SPCA Cincinnati’s mission to reduce pet homelessness and improve animal welfare throughout the community.

Adoption Specialists also play an important role in creating a positive volunteer experience by welcoming volunteers, providing guidance and support, answering questions, and fostering a collaborative environment where volunteers feel valued and appreciated. Through positive interactions and clear communication, Adoption Specialists help ensure volunteers have a meaningful experience while supporting the care and enrichment of the animals.
