About Us

At Animal Friends, Inc., we're dedicated to creating a more compassionate community for pets and people alike. Our holistic approach to animal sheltering, rescue, and rehoming focuses on maximizing the quality of life for our residents.

Job Summary

We're seeking a passionate and team-oriented individual to join our team as a Behavior Care Technician. In this role, you'll work directly with our animal residents, providing personalized care and attention to help them thrive.

Key Responsibilities
  • Feed, exercise, socialize, and clean up after our residents, working collaboratively with our team to ensure their physical and mental well-being.
  • Develop a deep understanding of our animal residents, sharing your insights with future adopters, behavior specialists, and members of the medical team.
  • Contribute to the daily care of our residents, including power washing, laundry, restocking of supplies, and occasional trash removal.

  • Partner with Humane Investigations during mass rescues, working together to ensure the safe and humane treatment of animals.
Requirements

We're looking for someone with a passion for animals and animal welfare, as well as a team-oriented outlook. Prior animal handling and husbandry experience is a plus, but not required.

The ideal candidate is eager to learn our team's protocols and is adaptable to the ever-changing demands of our shelter and the community we care for.
