We would like to thank you for showing an interest in working here. However, we have found in the past that many people do not have a very realistic view of what working in a place like this involves. Please read this letter carefully.

First, you need to understand that the primary purpose of this facility is to take care of other people’s dogs when they have to go out of town. This means that during the summer and around all holidays we are at our busiest. In addition, since this business is seasonal in nature, you can expect your hours or days to vary according to our needs. The pets must be cared for 7 days a week, so weekend and holiday work is a MUST. We realize that working under these conditions can be difficult for some people, but that is the nature of the business and your DEPENDABILITY in this area is critical.

We are seeking people who have a genuine love of animals, are mature, and accept the responsibilities we will place on them. While we focus on playing with the dogs, someone has to clean up after them, feed them, administer medications, and see to their comfort and security. This requires a lot of hard work and dedication.

We will try to make the best use of your skills and experience, but don’t expect to be exempt from the more mundane and unpleasant chores that need to be performed. Floors need to be mopped, rooms cleaned, and trash cans emptied. Applicants must be able to lift 50 lbs. This is an ill suited position for a person who is allergic to animal hair or sensitive to chemicals.

We are looking for mature, responsible people. You must be reliable, patient, intelligent, and capable of independent action. We take our profession very seriously. If you can make this commitment, then proceed to fill out your job application.
