Animal Caretakers
We accept applications for Animal Caretakers to work in our kennel and cattery on an ongoing
basis.
Animal caretakers feed and clean our resident animals and their living areas, provide them with exercise and socialization, administer medication, and monitor the kennel
and cattery to ensure a clean, healthy, and welcoming environment for
the animals and shelter visitors.
Our kennel and cattery staff members also use their knowledge of the animals in our care to help potential adopters find a good match for their needs and lifestyles, provide assistance with animal visitation, and support the Customer Service and Adoption Counseling staff with animal handling as needed.
Candidates should not have a fear or dislike of
cats or dogs since they
will be handling both, and should be prepared for physically demanding work, including the ability to lift up to 50 pounds. We are looking for people who genuinely care about all animals and will be committed to providing
exceptional care to our resident animals.
If you are interested in applying for this position, please stop by the shelter and pick up an application, or contact
David Owens, Animal Care Manager, at (302) 571-0111, ext. 313 or dowens@dehumane.org.
Resumes can be sent via email or faxed to (302) 571-8173.
