H.A.L.O. Animal Rescue is looking for someone special to join our front office team — someone who brings both compassion and confidence to the table.

If you love animals, enjoy working with people, and can communicate clearly (even in challenging moments), this could be a great fit for you.

This role is incredibly rewarding, but it’s also fast-paced, hands-on, and requires someone who is comfortable taking the lead in conversations and situations when needed.

What the Job Feels Like:

Busy, sometimes loud (yes, lots of barking!)
A mix of happy moments and emotionally challenging ones
Team-oriented, where everyone supports each other
A role where you’ll need to think on your feet and stay composed

What You’ll Be Doing:

Greeting and guiding visitors through our services and processes
Answering phones/emails and providing clear, accurate information
Assisting with adoptions and applications
Handling payments and donations
Keeping the front office clean and organized
Performing basic animal care tasks (including nail trims — training provided)
Data entry and general office support

Animal Handling Expectations (Important):
We provide training for nail trims and safe handling, but this is a hands-on role:

You may get scratched during nail trims
Some animals are fearful or resistant
Some may attempt to bite or require firm, proper restraint

Confidence, awareness, and the ability to stay calm and in control are key.

We’re Looking For Someone Who:

Is friendly and empathetic, but not afraid to speak up or set boundaries
Can handle difficult or emotional conversations with professionalism
Is comfortable making decisions and guiding interactions, not just observing
Works well with a team and communicates openly
Stays organized and focused, even when things get hectic

If you tend to avoid interaction or prefer a quiet work environment, this position likely won’t be the right fit.

Schedule:

Part-time (2-3 days/week) -- with opportunity to later become full-time for the right candidate.
8:45 AM – 5:10 PM
Some flexibility required

Pay: Typical starting pay is $15/hr with opportunity for raises.

This is a chance to be part of a team that truly makes a difference every day — for both animals and the people who love them.

If that sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you!

Compensation: $15.00 per hour

Are you able to stay focused and on task in environments with loud or constant noise, such as multiple dogs barking or several conversations happening at once? If you have any previous experience working in loud environments, please explain.*

This position involves daily physical tasks such as moving large wire crates, restraining strong dogs for nail trims, and lifting heavy items (40-50lbs). It also requires frequent bending, crouching, and kneeling. Do you have the ability and willingness to perform these types of physical tasks on a regular basis?*

Tell us about any previous experience you have working or volunteering in animal shelters, veterinary clinics, or other animal-related environments. What knowledge or skills related to animal rescue, health, or behavior have you gained? If you have not worked or volunteered in these settings, what personal experience or knowledge do you have pertaining to animal health/welfare?*

Working in animal rescue often involves stressful or emotional interactions with customers (ex: emotions surrounding the surrendering of pets, intaking sick animals in need of care, etc.) Can you share how you maintain patience, compassion, and a positive attitude when handling challenging or sensitive situations?*

The starting wage is $15/hour, with an opportunity for a raise at the 90-day evaluation mark, and then annual reviews/raises after that. Time off is not granted within the first 90 days unless discussed prior to employment, but 1st and 2nd year employees are allotted 5 vacation days (paid for full-time, unpaid for part-time employees) per year, plus 10 sick days. Are you comfortable with these terms?*

We are currently hiring two candidates for 2-3 shifts per week each, but could potentially move one candidate to full-time in the future once trained. If hired, would you be interested in eventually becoming full time, or is your preference to stay at part-time permanently?*
