    H.A.L.O. Animal Rescue is looking for someone special to join our front office team — someone who brings both compassion and confidence to the table.

    If you love animals, enjoy working with people, and can communicate clearly (even in challenging moments), this could be a great fit for you.

    This role is incredibly rewarding, but it’s also fast-paced, hands-on, and requires someone who is comfortable taking the lead in conversations and situations when needed.

    What the Job Feels Like:

    Busy, sometimes loud (yes, lots of barking!)

    A mix of happy moments and emotionally challenging ones

    Team-oriented, where everyone supports each other

    A role where you’ll need to think on your feet and stay composed

    What You’ll Be Doing:

    Greeting and guiding visitors through our services and processes

    Answering phones/emails and providing clear, accurate information

    Assisting with adoptions and applications

    Handling payments and donations

    Keeping the front office clean and organized

    Performing basic animal care tasks (including nail trims — training provided)

    Data entry and general office support

    Animal Handling Expectations (Important): We provide training for nail trims and safe handling, but this is a hands-on role:

    You may get scratched during nail trims

    Some animals are fearful or resistant

    Some may attempt to bite or require firm, proper restraint

    Confidence, awareness, and the ability to stay calm and in control are key.

    We’re Looking For Someone Who:

    Is friendly and empathetic, but not afraid to speak up or set boundaries

    Can handle difficult or emotional conversations with professionalism

    Is comfortable making decisions and guiding interactions, not just observing

    Works well with a team and communicates openly

    Stays organized and focused, even when things get hectic

    If you tend to avoid interaction or prefer a quiet work environment, this position likely won’t be the right fit.

    Schedule:

    Part-time (3–4 days/week)

    8:45 AM – 5:10 PM

    Some flexibility required

    Pay: Typical starting pay is $15/hr with opportunity for raises, but is negotiable depending on experience.

    This is a chance to be part of a team that truly makes a difference every day — for both animals and the people who love them.

    If that sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you!
