MISSION STATEMENT

Committed to kindness in service to the community since 1931, the Humane Society of Sonoma County is a donor-supported safe haven for animals. Our mission is to save lives and benefit the wellbeing of pets and their people with kindness, innovation, and leadership. 


SUMMARY:

The Humane Society of Sonoma County is seeking a customer service-oriented leader for our Santa Rosa Shelter Manager position. This role provides direct oversight of the Animal Care, Adoptions, and Admissions departments, ensuring exceptional care for animals and outstanding service for both internal and external customers. Working collaboratively with department leads, supervisors, and the Shelter Medicine Manager, the Shelter Manager is responsible for the daily operation of shelter programs, including animal intake, housing, adoption placement, and customer engagement. This position promotes high standards of animal welfare, operational excellence, staff development, and a positive experience for community members seeking services from the organization. 


This role works closely with the Shelter Behavior, Foster, Shelter Medicine, and Volunteer Programs. 


Admissions is responsible for the flow of animals into the shelter; fosters and maintains relationship with partner organizations, responds to pleas from other shelters and coordinates regular transfers, responds to and coordinates surrenders, and facilitates entry of stray animals into shelter. Occasionally communicates with approved partners for alternative placement options including trades, out of area transfers, or rescue placement. 


Animal Services and Customer Services Staff are responsible for cleaning and disinfecting all shelter animal housing, and creating a safe, clean, and welcoming environment for all animals, staff, and members of the public. They are responsible for providing daily care including meals, water, bedding, toys and enrichment items, and potty breaks.

In addition to adoptions, a portion of their time is spent handling other front desk duties such as intake of stray animals, animal surrenders, transfers, assistance with lost pets, processing occasional cremation requests, and gratefully accepting donations. The Adoption Program works closely with the Behavior &amp; Training Program, Shelter Medicine, Foster Program, and volunteers. 


The Santa Rosa Shelter Manger communicates with other programs within Shelter Ops to keep up to date on capacity for care and collaborates with the Admissions team to keep an appropriate flow of animals based on available space and resources. Assists the intake team with performing intake exams on animals as they enter the shelter if needed; communicates medical and behavioral information to relevant staff members.
