Client Services Representative
Are you as passionate about helping people as you are animals? Our Client Services team members are the first to help new animals coming into our facility and the last to say goodbye to the ones leaving for their adoptive homes. Team members share information about our various programs, resources to keep animals out of the shelter system and work hard to reunite lost pets with their owners. And of course they get to play ‘matchmaker’ to potential adopters and the animals in our care as they review all adoption applications.
Ideal candidate will have a ‘people first’ approach, excel in a fast paced dynamic workplace and help our team members develop their own leadership potential.
