WORK ENVIRONMENT

We’re a small but mighty team that thrives on collaboration, creativity, and a shared love for animals as much as people. Our work moves fast—no two days are the same—and we pitch in where needed to get things done. You’ll often find yourself juggling details for an upcoming fundraiser one minute and petting a sweet senior dog the next.

Evenings and weekends pop up occasionally for events or donor meetups, and comfort around dogs and cats is a must.
