WHY DO WE SHOW EXPIRED LISTINGS?

Do you have a passion for animals and rescue work? Do you want to be a part of the team at a very unique sanctuary, focusing on socializing and finding adoptive homes for a variety of animals including dogs, cats, horses, pigs, cows, and sheep? If so, we may have just the right opportunity for you!

 

Our Animal Sanctuary is a unique organization dedicated to the care and rehabilitation of former research animals. Settled on 1,000 acres in the ranchlands of Hartville, WY, just 3.5 hours north of Denver, Kindness Ranch provides a safe place for these animals to live and learn – and when they are ready, we also help them find their happily ever after!

 

We are seeking passionate, motivated, and qualified candidates to join our team as animal caretakers and/or maintenance staff. We currently have openings on both our companion animal team (dogs and cats) and our barnyard animal team (horses, sheep, pigs, cows), and are also seeking applicants with facilities maintenance and large equipment experience for one soon-to-be-available position. We are more than willing to bring a couple with the right skills on board to fill any two of our current open positions! The ideal candidates will be happy, hard-working, passionate animal lovers with the experience and skills to both complement and enhance our current team.

 

Primary duties for animal caretakers include:

Ensuring that our animals’ daily needs are met with the highest possible standards for care; socializing and creating an engaging and stimulating environment for all of our animals; assisting in the efforts of the rehab and training program; assisting in promoting and facilitating adoptions as needed; and supervising volunteers and day visitors in daily ranch activities.

Completion of a high school diploma at a minimum; Possession of a valid drivers’ license and clean driving record; Prior animal care experience at a shelter or sanctuary, day care or boarding facility, vet clinic, or other similar animal care organization or business is preferred; Basic computer and internet skills, including use of email and word processing and database software; Strong communication and customer service skills; Willingness and capability to live in a remote location with minimal services.

 

All employees should expect a varied and flexible schedule to include days, nights, weekends, and holidays.

 

Because of our remote location, on-site housing can be provided to employees as needed. Staff housing units are all pet-friendly, but please note that this housing would be available for the employees only and cannot include family or any other non-employees.
