· Act as main point of contact for animal transport and shelter transfers.

· Perform health and behavioral evaluations for all prospective dog intakes.

· Coordinate incoming surrenders, strays, and animal control cases.

· Schedule and assist with veterinary visits and implement post-intake quarantine protocols.

Compliance & Regulatory Oversight

· Maintain a strong understanding of local, state, and federal animal welfare regulations and licensing laws.

· Ensure kennel operations, intake procedures, and holding periods fully align with legal requirements and safety standards.

· Prepare facility records and physical spaces for routine regulatory or shelter licensing inspections.

Administrative & Kennel Operations

· Maintain accurate canine medical files, intake paperwork, and shelter database records.

· Manage inventory, placing orders for dog food, preventative medications, and kennel supplies.

· Assist as needed in hands-on kennel cleaning, dog walking, enrichment, and facility maintenance, including dog yards.

· Ensure all training tools, crates, and medical equipment are sanitized and in good condition.
