**Canvasback Canine Attendant - Where Every Tail Wag Matters** Everyone knows you're an animal lover. You're the first call for stray animals and the one who stops to help when others walk by. Friends seek you out in tough times because you empathize and lend a hand. You're often volunteered to plan events due to your focus and goal-oriented nature. You never settle for "good enough" and always push for excellence. When told something can't be done, you see it as a challenge. **If this sounds like you, you're in the right place.** We're seeking a Canine Attendant to join the Canvasback Canine Club. This role is crucial for ensuring the well-being and happiness of our treasured furry guests and their families. **You’ll know this job is for you if**: There’s no greater feeling of accomplishment for you than knowing your hard work and passion have made a difference. You’re really good at creating and following a plan AND trying to make that plan even better next time ;). You sometimes write things on your to-do list after you’ve done them just so you can check them off. You know that it isn’t all glamorous, and the behind the scenes work is just as important as the client facing stuff to make sure we’re providing the best care possible. **What we are looking for in a Canine Attendant**: We are looking for individuals who embody patience, a calm demeanor, and meticulous attention to detail. You thrive on multitasking and are physically capable of tasks such as bending, lifting, and using stairs comfortably. Comfort and confidence around dogs are essential, and prior experience in animal care is a definite asset. As a forward-thinking team player, you possess excellent communication skills and thrive in a collaborative environment. **More of the Nitty Gritty**: We are an independent, family-owned business committed to always doing the right thing for pets and people. We prioritize transparency, kindness, safety at all costs, and integrity in a market that can be anything but. We confidently offer the best dog care facility around. Every day, we strive to improve the lives of dogs and their families, while continuously learning and growing to be better every day. You musty know that this job is not all puppy dogs kisses and rainbows (although working with dogs is pretty magical) — there is lots of good and there are some challenges **Let’s get the tough stuff out of the way first**: **The Challenges**: - **Embrace Change**: No two days are the same. Be ready to adapt to daily changes and challenges with flexibility and a positive, calm attitude. Your ability to adjust on the fly and roll with the punches ensures smooth operations and happy dogs. - **Hands-On Tasks**: This role involves significant cleaning duties to maintain a clean and safe environment for our dogs. While it can be a dirty job, it's incredibly rewarding knowing you're creating a comfortable, safe space for our furry friends. - **High Standards**: We take the care of our dogs very seriously and hold ourselves to high standards. If you thrive under pressure and strive for excellence, you'll fit right in. If high expectations stress you out, and you're looking for an easy job playing with puppies, this is likely not the role for you. - **Reliability is Essential**: Every team member is crucial to our team's success, so we expect everyone to show up on time, every time. While we understand that sick days and emergencies happen, this isn’t a job where you can call in sick just for convenience or show up whenever you want. **The Good Stuff**: - **Awesome Team**: Join our awesome team where we work hard and play hard. Collaborate with passionate individuals who share your love for dogs and dedication to continuous growth and improvement. - **Building Meaningful Connections**: There’s nothing better than seeing a dog light up with joy when they see your face. Create lasting bonds not only with the dogs but also with their loving owners. - **Fulfilling Care**: Experience the joy of fulfilling work where every day is dedicated to ensuring dogs receive the attention and care they deserve. From feeding and grooming to playtime and cuddles, make a real difference in their lives. - **Never Dull**: Embrace a dynamic work environment where no two days are the same. Enjoy a variety of tasks and interactions that keep you engaged and energized throughout the day. - **Your Company**: We are not a big corp. Canvasback belongs to all of us.
