Requirements
Must love dogs If you're not crazy about the pooches, you will hate this job. This is not a job for everyone. Working with dogs can be (at times) exhausting, infuriating, disgusting and overwhelming. If you really love dogs though, it can also be exciting, amusing, and overall very rewarding. Applicants should be comfortable handling all types of dogs in a humane manner. You should be able to work equally well either independently or as a team.
Along with a strong work ethic and physical stamina, you must be responsible, honest, patient, prompt and very dependable. You must possess good written and verbal communication skills, a sense of humor and most importantly, a positive attitude. MUST BE ABLE TO WORK SOME WEEKENDS, HOLIDAYS AND OCCASIONAL OVERNIGHTS.
We're looking for people that want to work with dogs, not people who think working with dogs means playing and goofing around with them all day.
If you think you're the right person, we look forward to meeting you.
If you are an A+ player, will support our purpose, and will live our values every single day, please follow the following directions to submit an formal application.
