We put high priority on animal care and well-being. Working in a small, busy environment these Caretakers need to have strong interpersonal skills and a willingness to be a team player. This position has to be flexible in the duties and responsibilities to best fit the changing needs of the shelter. We have both morning and evening shifts each day, and we couldn’t run the shelter without these dedicated and reliable volunteers!
