Position Description

View Full Job Description

Looking for a flexible part-time opportunity working with dogs?

Our Relief Kennel Attendant helps provide as-needed coverage when regularly scheduled Kennel Attendants are unavailable due to vacation, illness, or other time off.

This position does not have a regular weekly schedule, and additional hours will vary based on staffing needs. However, the Relief Kennel Attendant will be included in our rotating Late-Night Potty schedule, which provides a scheduled week approximately once every five weeks. During that week, the attendant works Saturday through Friday from approximately 9:30–10:00 p.m. each night.

This position is a great fit for someone with a flexible schedule who is willing to pick up additional morning, evening, weekend, or holiday shifts as they become available.

One Veteran. One Dog.
No Barriers.

Join us in changing lives—through service, loyalty, and love. Together, we can ensure every Veteran who needs a service dog has a partner by their side.
