We are looking for experienced dog handlers who are comfortable with all breeds, ages, and behaviors and who can walk 6-8 miles (or more!) daily, regardless of weather. Candidates must be able to lift a dog up to 50 lbs and be able to handle all aspects of dog care, including feeding, bathing, and administering medication. We are looking for reliable, dedicated people who appreciate being active in a fast-paced environment. Being a self-starter who is able to multi-task efficiently and stay calm in stressful situations is a must. We focus on creating a happy environment for the dogs, and that starts with the staff, so we look for positive attitudes and the ability to work well with others. Working in rescue is not easy or for the faint of heart, but it is incredibly rewarding! These amazing dogs depend on us for everything - from potties to feedings to walkies, socialization and leash skills...and to rebuild the trust that humans broke before. They need us 365 days of the year, no matter what. We are their world until they find their forever homes, and we try to make that the best world possible for them. In return, they show us a love and devotion you won't find anywhere else. Pay is offered at an hourly wage and will be negotiated based on experience; however, please be aware that our pay scale reflects that we are a charity and we are looking for people wanting to make a difference in the lives of others, not just a job. This is not a commercial enterprise and rely on generous donations from the public to provide first-class care for the dogs most in need; therefore, we are looking for candidates who understand our mission and operation.
