We give them medical attention, shelter, love and help them find the best forever homes we can when they’re ready for adoption. As a kennel assistant, you play an integral part in ensuring the care and comfort of these animals. You’ll also experience the joy and fulfillment of saying goodbye as they are united with their new forever families.
