I Heart Dogs Rescue and Animal Haven is Hiring a Kennel Attendant - EVENING SHIFT Near Warren, MI

I Heart Dogs is a non-profit, no-kill dog rescue located in Warren, MI (9 Mile/Groesbeck Hwy). We have staff at our shelter from 8:00 am to 8:30 pm every day. The daily shifts are from 8am-3:30pm, 12:30pm-8pm, and 2:30-8:30pm. You would be required to work at least one weekend shift per week and some holidays (holidays are paid at 1.5x pay rate). We are looking for applicants with a flexible schedule and are hoping to find an applicant who would prefer the afternoon shifts. This position can be full-time or part-time, your choice!

Employees are provided with 5 shirts to wear at work, one pair of non-slip shoes or boots per year and are given one paid day off for their birthday! We are also investing in paid training and development for all employees. Employees are also given a discount on adoption fees if they choose to adopt one of our dogs or cats!

We have a 9,000 sq ft facility with about 60 dogs and 15 cats in our care at any given time. The job is very aerobic and fast-paced!
