Application Question(s):
- Are you available to work, distraction free from 5pm-10pm each night?
- In rescue, there are no days off and emergencies can pop up at anytime, are you genuinely prepared for that?
- This role requires a strong attention to detail, slow reading, mindfulness and focus. Can you share why you feel you can offer this?
- Would you be juggling any other commitments besides this?
- Do you love dogs? If so, tell us how much! What is the craziest thing you have done for a dog?
- We have a holistic focus, is that something you are open to? For example, we do not support toxic flea and tick meds and this is offensive to many but we have seen very bad reactions using them.
- Sometimes, work pops up outside of the above hours, say a dog is surrendered and we have to find a trainer to get the dog to around 12pm, do you have the flexibility to hop online to help or would other commitments prevent that?
- What hours are you available to work each day, if needed?
