You know that saying, “To the world, you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world.”

This really rings true for Anderson Humane's Animal Care Techs who are the world to our dogs, cats, kittens, and puppies. While being a pup’s “world” is a big job with a lot of responsibility, there is no better feeling than being greeted by wagging tails and happy dances. Trust us.

If you need more reasons to apply:

• Unconditional love and acceptance, likely delivered via sloppy kisses.
• By being an essential team member and providing our dogs with daily care, you'll see firsthand their silliness and unique personalities emerge more every day.
• Our Techs start at $14.00 per hour.
• Our Employee Adoption Discount because aren’t pets like potato chips? You can’t have just one.
• We offer a 401(k)-retirement program because retirement only seems like a lifetime away.
• We can work with you! Our schedule is flexible, including weekdays, weekends, and holidays with shifts between 7:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., seven days a week.

What you’ll be doing

• Providing our animals with living spaces, toys, and bedding that are cleaned and sanitized throughout the day.
• Ensuring our dogs and pups flourish
  • physically with multiple daily walks and exercise.
  • mentally by engaging them with challenging toys, puzzles…and a lot of peanut butter.
  • socially with doggie playgroups and just by hanging with them.
• Protecting our animals’ health by administering vaccinations and medications when needed.
• Assisting with training new volunteers, interns, and staff because many hands make light work!

While our dogs demand our attention, if you have a soft spot for cats and kittens, you may be asked to lend an occasional hand in our Cattery where there is no shortage of rumbly purrs and mischief!

What to expect

• A loud and messy, but lively environment with animals of all sizes and characters.
• To follow all safety protocols. We do work with animals, after all.
• A mix of indoor and outdoor activities daily.
• To stay active; you’ll be walking, standing, and doing the occasional lifting (up to 50 lbs. with help).

Intrigued? Let’s talk if:

• You have experience in animal care, especially in a kennel setting (although it's not a dealbreaker).
• You’re pretty good at reading animal behavior.
• You always keep a cool head. Stress? Deadline? No problem! You get the job done and done well!
• You are happy working alone and being teamed up with others.
