Collaborate with the Director of Operations and medical staff to ensure every animal gets timely care and a path to adoption.

Who You Are

You’ve led teams or programs in a shelter, rescue, or veterinary environment.

You have hands‑on experience handling both dogs and cats, including medical or special‑needs care.

You’re highly organized, confident in making decisions, and thrive when things get a little chaotic.

You love mentoring others — and see every foster family as a partner in saving lives.

You’re comfortable juggling data, reports, and a phone full of adorable foster updates.

You’re driven by mission, integrity, and the belief that no life is disposable.
