Kennel Assistant 

Part-Time

We need a dependable, caring person who is physically fit and able to work in Texas weather. 

This job entails cleaning, feeding, and taking the dogs out for exercise every morning, with attention paid to the health, demeanor and special requirements of each dog.  As some of the dogs here have aggression problems, the kennel assistant needs to be someone who can follow safety protocols, and who is willing to establish a relationship with dogs who may need special handling.

The job requires someone with attention to detail, good cleaning and organizational skills, ability to work around  dogs. This person must understand that the health of each dog depends on a clean, disinfected environment and thorough removal of  feces and urine.  Each dog is bathed and given a nail trim upon departure by the kennel assistant. 

The kennel assistant also aids with the maintenance of the facility when time allows.
 
The hours are from 7:30 am-12:00, and 3:30-6:00pm, with opportunities for extra hours of work in between.  Starting pay is $8.00 per hour until training is completed.  Training is over when all aspects of the job are performed competently, at that time the assistant is due for a raise.  After a year of employment, the kennel assistant will also be given a week paid vacation.  This position does not provide insurance.  Availability for holidays and weekends is a must.
