What is fun and meaningful about this job?
This position is truly a comfort to our homeless shelter pets. Clean laundry means our homeless animals can curl up on a clean, dry blanket of their own. Clean dishes mean our animals get reassuring nourishment while eating. Well-stocked areas mean that clean bedding and dishes doesn't get overlooked when things get busy. This role may not seem glorious, but it provides an immediate impact on reducing the stress on our animals and helps them cope with the unfamiliar environment.
