Want to Work With Animals? Joybound People and Pets is Hiring

Are you a pet owner? Do you HAVE to pet every single dog you pass by on a walk? Do Sarah McLachlan's songs automatically make you cry?

Well then, have we got the job for you. There’s no better way to act on your love for animals than by working in animal rescue, and Joybound People and Pets is Hiring.

Joybound, formerly the Animal Rescue Foundation, is committed to celebrating the animal-human bond through cat and dog rescue and adoption services. They also offer veterinary care, training, food assistance, service animals programs, and more.

Here are some more deets about your new dream employer:

  • Based in Walnut Creek, California

  • Founded in 1991, and in that time, they’ve connected more than 50,000 pets with families

  • Mission Statement: To inspire and nurture the human-animal bond and bring people and animals together to enrich each other’s lives. 

  • Best part: they’re a pet-friendly workplace!

  • Current job opening: Assistant Director of Philanthropy

If you aren’t in California or the right fit for this job, there are other ways to get involved in animal rescue. You could volunteer at a local shelter, look for jobs at animal rescue nonprofits in your area, or adopt your own rescue pet!

Bonding with a pet is scientifically proven to make you happier (#lookitup), so trust us, you’ll benefit from the experience just as much as your furry friends. And please, for the love of all things adorable, send us pictures of your pets.
