Maintain accurate paper and electronic medical records.
Provide compassionate nursing care and first aid to shelter animals.
Assist with humane euthanasia following established protocols.
Clean, disinfect, and maintain the veterinary clinic, equipment, and surgical instruments.
Ensure medical supplies remain stocked and organized.
Support foster caregivers and provide exceptional customer service to adopters, volunteers, and visitors.

What We're Looking For

Experience handling and restraining animals safely and compassionately.
Knowledge of animal health, vaccinations, diagnostics, anesthesia, and surgical procedures.
Strong organizational skills with exceptional attention to detail.
Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
Ability to multitask, prioritize responsibilities, and work effectively in a fast-paced environment.
Ability to lift up to 50 pounds and remain on your feet for extended periods.
A collaborative team player committed to the mission of the Dubuque Regional Humane Society.

You'll enjoy:

The chance to be part of countless successful adoption stories
