Job responsibilities are 80% heavy cleaning and 20% care of dogs.

PREREQUISITES:

Here's the deal...We work our tails off (get it?)! But we're also a fun group. So we want someone who can fit in with our team of goofballs but understands the importance of hard work! You must be willing and able to work with dogs of all temperaments and sizes. The position is very physical so you must be physically capable of performing the cleaning & handling responsibilities - you're on your feet all day. You need be willing to work independently and must be reliable. Candidate must be at least 18 years old, have reliable transportation and have a strong work-ethic. We are looking for candidates that have a go-with-the flow attitude (the dog world is often unpredictable), who will work hard, be reliable and who can work well with others.
