• Support of a team – even on your toughest days, you can always come to work and feel good about being part of a family atmosphere that picks you up when you are down.
• Integrity – be confident in the knowledge that we have a 100% adoption rate!
• Passion – work in a company which allows you to live with passion and excitement for your work, the animals, the guests in the store and most importantly, for you.

• FUN! – We are a company which is successful because of our ability to get the job done while still having fun.
