Do you want a job that saves lives? At the Humane Society for Hamilton County , caring for animals isn't just what we do—it’s who we are. If you love dogs and cats, want to be part of a mission-driven team, and are ready to work in one of the nation’s only open-admission, truly no-kill shelters, this might be your perfect fit.
About the Role
As a Kennel Cleaner , you’ll play a critical role in maintaining a safe, clean, and low-stress environment for the animals in our care. You’ll work closely with a passionate team to provide daily cleaning, feeding, and care for shelter animals—many of whom have come from incredibly difficult circumstances and are now getting their second chance.
What You’ll Do:
- Provide daily care, feeding, and clean housing for dogs and cats
- Monitor animals for health or behavioral changes and report issues
- Clean kennels, cages, food/water bowls, and bedding
- Handle dogs on leashes safely, including outdoor walks
- Work outside in all seasons and assist in maintaining a calm, safe environment
- Help ensure our shelter lives up to our promise: live, love, and be loved
What We’re Looking For:
- A compassionate, hardworking animal lover with attention to detail
- Ability to lift 50 lbs and work on your feet for extended periods
- Strong communication and common-sense decision-making
- Comfort working in a high-energy, emotionally intense, and noisy environment
- Commitment to our No-Kill philosophy and mission
- Flexibility to work some nights, weekends, and holidays
- Reliable transportation and a can-do attitude
Why You’ll Love Working Here:
- Brand-new, state-of-the-art facility designed for animal comfort and staff wellbeing
- Robust pet benefits for your own furry friends (medications, preventatives, vaccines, and more—at cost or no cost)
- Health benefits (medical, dental, vision, life, disability)
- Generous PTO & paid holidays, starting on Day 1
- 401(k) with match
- Professional development & training provided
- Be part of an organization that matched 40 veterans with emotional support pets , reunited hundreds of families, and saved over 3,300 animals in 2024 —because we do whatever it takes.
