Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States Animal Friends, Inc. Full time
Job Summary:
We are seeking a compassionate and dedicated Pet Care Specialist to join our team at Animal Friends, Inc. In this role, you will be responsible for providing top-notch care to our furry friends until they find their forever homes. If you have a passion for animals and enjoy working in a fast-paced environment, we encourage you to apply.

About Us:
Animal Friends, Inc. is a leading animal shelter that offers an individualized and holistic approach to animal sheltering, rescue, and rehoming. Our residents receive personalized care and one-on-one interactions with the goal of maximizing their quality of life. We believe that mental health and physical health go hand-in-hand, and our approach focuses on minimizing stress and anxiety. With enrichment and positive reinforcement training incorporated into their routines, our animal residents have an active and cooperative role in the daily care they receive.

About the Role:
As a Pet Care Specialist, you will work as part of a dynamic team to ensure the well-being of our residents. Your responsibilities will include feeding, exercising, socializing, and cleaning up after our animals. You will also get to know our many cats, dogs, and rabbits and share your insights with future adopters, behavior specialists, and members of the medical team. Additionally, you will assist with power washing, laundry, restocking of supplies, and occasional trash removal. We are committed to implementing Fear Free techniques and positive reinforcement training when handling any animal in our care. This role requires flexibility and adaptability, as you will partner with Humane Investigations during mass rescues.

Requirements:
While prior animal handling and husbandry experience is a plus, a passion for animals and animal welfare, along with a team-oriented outlook, are the key ingredients for success. You must be able to meet the physical demands (with or without accommodations) to safely move through out our kennels and feed our animals. 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. Estimated salary: $40,000 - $60,000 per year.
