Dog Walker/Kennel Attendant

Job Posting: Dog Walker/Kennel Attendant at Against All Oddz Animal Alliance sanctuary

Location: Darien Center, NY
Position Type: Part Time or Full Time
Salary: Compensation based on experience
Reports to: Executive Director or Sanctuary Founder

About Us:
Against All Oddz is an animal sanctuary, rescue, and a legal-based animal advocacy resource center. The two core tenets of Against All Oddz are the sanctity of life and the power of redemption. We believe in empowering people, empowering animals, and empowering people through the gift of animals.

Against All Oddz was founded in 2015 as a 501c3 New York state registered not-for-profit agency. Its sanctuary sits on 50 acres of land in Darien Center, NY. On our sanctuary we have structures to rescue and rehabilitate animals. With the legal background of our founder and volunteers, Against All Oddz’s niche and focus is dogs ensnared in the legal system and providing those animals with both legal representation and rehabilitative assistance. Against All Oddz is the first of its kind in the United States to have such a holistic approach to dealing with court case dogs. We also assist other animal rescues that don’t have the resources or knowledge to help animals with behavioral or medical issues. We take in the animals that have nowhere else to go. We provide a humane alternative to euthanasia, and we believe that every animal deserves a second chance.
