You're a Great Fit If You...

• Love animals (even when they're nervous, sick, messy, or having a rough day).
• Don't mind working around barking dogs—it's part of the job!
• Are comfortable being active throughout your shift, including standing, walking, bending, and lifting. (Team members help with animals over 40 lbs.)
• Understand that this is a hands-on job where you'll sometimes deal with odors, pet messes, scratches, bites, and exposure to animal illnesses.
