Full-time, Permanent
Are you the kind of person who can tell a dog’s mood by the wag of their tail? Do you believe clean kennels and full food bowls are acts of love? Do you have what it takes to care for everything from cuddly kittens to super-cool canines?
If you just nodded twice and smiled once, we might have the job for you.
As a Kennel Technician, you’re not just cleaning kennels and changing litter (though yes, that’s part of it). You’re a frontline caregiver, a quiet comforter, a vigilant health checker, and a vital member of a team that’s changing animal lives every single day.
You’ll be:
- Delivering top-notch daily care to dogs, cats, bunnies, and the occasional ‘other; pet
- Keeping our shelter clean, safe, and organized (think of it as housecleaning… but with more barking)
- Supporting feeding schedules, enrichment programs, and animal moves
- Working closely with our Veterinary, Adoptions, and Animal Services teams
- Reporting on behavior and health – because you notice everything
What You Bring:
- A high school diploma and at least one year of hands-on animal experience
- The strength to lift 22 kg
- Calm in chaos, compassion in action, and a love for teamwork
- Comfort with computers and a willingness to learn
- A sense of humour (very helpful on “bath day”)
- A deep respect for animals and for the people who care about them
Bonus Points if You:
- Have experience in a vet clinic or animal shelter
- Know your way around animal nutrition or enrichment
- Are secretly a “cat whisperer” or “dog decoder”
Why Join RHS?
- Every shift makes a difference in an animal’s life
- Work with passionate, like-minded animal lovers
- Grow your skills in animal care, shelter operations, and teamwork
- Get behind the scenes of one of Saskatchewan’s most respected animal welfare organizations
- No two days are ever the same…just like the animals we serve
This is more than a job. It’s a mission.
