Part -Time Animal Control Officer
The City of La Habra is recruiting to fill the position of part-time Animal Control Officer and to establish an eligibility list for future openings.

ABOUT THE CITY:
The City of La Habra is a vibrant Southern California community, strategically located in the northwest corner of Orange County, where it benefits from the greater economies of both Orange and Los Angeles counties. When the City incorporated in 1925, the La Habra valley was a largely agricultural community comprised of farms and ranches but included a significant local oil industry. Over the past century, the City has transitioned to a fully built out suburban community of residential neighborhoods, commercial businesses and industrial manufacturing. Over the past 30 years the City has invested heavily in economic development and public infrastructure, and offers a rich assortment of community services programs, events, and activities.
Today the City is home to a population of over 63,000 residents within La Habra's 7.3 square miles. A friendly and diverse community, La Habra is conveniently located within an hour's drive of many beaches, mountains, and desert recreation areas. The City is known for the Corn Festival, Citrus Fair, Tamale Festival and the jewel of La Habra, its Children's Museum. While the City has planned for and encourages measured growth, it retains a small town feel and lives up to its heritage as "A Caring Community."
