Do you want a job that saves lives? At the Humane Society for Hamilton County, caring for animals isn't just what we do—it’s who we are. If you love dogs and cats, want to be part of a mission-driven team, and are ready to work in one of the nation’s only open-admission, truly no-kill shelters, this might be your perfect fit.

About the Role

As a Kennel Cleaner, you’ll play a critical role in maintaining a safe, clean, and low-stress environment for the animals in our care. You’ll work closely with a passionate team to provide daily cleaning, feeding, and care for shelter animals—many of whom have come from incredibly difficult circumstances and are now getting their second chance.

What You’ll Do:

• Provide daily care, feeding, and clean housing for dogs and cats
• Monitor animals for health or behavioral changes and report issues
• Clean kennels, cages, food/water bowls, and bedding
• Handle dogs on leashes safely, including outdoor walks
• Work outside in all seasons and assist in maintaining a calm, safe environment
• Help ensure our shelter lives up to our promise: live, love, and be loved

What We’re Looking For:

• A compassionate, hardworking animal lover with attention to detail
• Ability to lift 50 lbs and work on your feet for extended periods
• Strong communication and common-sense decision-making
• Comfort working in a high-energy, emotionally intense, and noisy environment
• Commitment to our No-Kill philosophy and mission
• Flexibility to work some nights, weekends, and holidays
• Reliable transportation and a can-do attitude

Why You’ll Love Working Here:

• Brand-new, state-of-the-art facility designed for animal comfort and staff wellbeing
• Robust pet benefits for your own furry friends (medications, preventatives, vaccines, and more—at cost or no cost)
• Health benefits (medical, dental, vision, life, disability)
• Generous PTO & paid holidays, starting on Day 1
• 401(k) with match
• Professional development & training provided
• Be part of an organization that matched 40 veterans with emotional support pets, reunited hundreds of families, and saved over 3,300 animals in 2024—because we do whatever it takes.
