Animal Rescue Front Office

Benefits:

• Employee discounts

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 monetary transactions
• Keeping the front office clean and organized
• Receiving, sorting, and putting away item donations
• Assisting with nail trims for cats, dogs, and the occasional critter
• 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 (3-4 days/week)
• 8:45 AM - 5:10 PM
• Some flexibility required

Pay:

Typical starting pay is $15/hr with opportunity for raises, but is negotiable depending on experience.

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.
