Job description
Are you not afraid to roll up your sleeves and get a little dirty? If so, you might be the shelter’s next Animal Care team member! We are an open-admission, nonprofit, progressive animal shelter and take in approximately 2,500 animals a year of all kinds, including dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, reptiles, rodents, farm animals, and even fish!
Your primary responsibilities include cleaning and sanitizing the animals’ living spaces; providing food, water and bedding; doing laundry; and working closely with other team members to ensure the animals receive top-notch care. You will also be able to spend some quality time with our animals while they wait for their forever homes!
While this position is very physically demanding, it’s also vitally important to the animals’ health and well-being. Candidates must have animal care experience, either personal or professional (it’s a bonus if you have experience with farm animals or exotic pets), be able to lift up to 50 lbs., work indoors and out in all weather conditions, and perform repetitive functions such as bending, kneeling, lifting and reaching. Please be sure to include any animal handling or rescue experience on your application and/or resume. On-the-job training and continuing education opportunities available.
If you’re ready to make a difference in the lives of our shelter pets, please fill out an application for employment at https://www.harfordshelter.org/contact/employment. Please, no phone calls, email inquiries, or walk ins.
