🚨 Now Hiring: Shelter Manager – Not Just a Job, a Mission 🚨

We’re not just looking for someone to fill a role.
We’re looking for a powerhouse — someone with the drive, discipline, and heart to help lead the daily operations of our dog rescue shelter and elevate it to the standard these animals deserve.

🧼 Cleanliness is Key
This role is rooted in structure, cleanliness, and detail. We’re looking for someone who sees a mess and fixes it before being told. Someone who understands that cleanliness isn’t just a task — it’s essential to the health and wellbeing of every dog in our care.

📋 Organized & Observant
You must be highly organized, detail-oriented, and proactive. If something doesn’t make sense, we expect you to speak up, find a solution, and implement it. If something is out of place, you fix it. If something isn’t working, you improve it. You are the glue that keeps the systems together.

👥 Leadership with Compassion
We need a natural leader — someone who holds others accountable while inspiring them to grow. Someone who can maintain a calm and positive work environment even when things go wrong. You’ll be overseeing the work of staff, ensuring that daily cleaning, feeding, walking, and medical care protocols are met — and exceeded.

💡 A Growth-Focused Opportunity
This is more than a job. This is a chance to be part of a team that is actively saving lives. You’ll learn, grow, lead, and play a key role in creating the kind of shelter experience these dogs — and this community — deserve.

⸻

We’re Looking For Someone Who Is:
• Exceptionally clean, organized, and reliable
• A problem-solver who takes initiative
• Calm and composed under pressure
• Able to manage and inspire a team
• Not afraid to correct others professionally
• Able to maintain structure and uphold standards
• Passionate about animals and rescue work
• Committed to this mission and willing to grow with it

This role is not for everyone — and we’re okay with that.
But if you’re the kind of person who wants to build something meaningful, who thrives under responsibility, and who is ready to make a real difference in the lives of animals and people… this might be exactly where you belong.

📩 To apply, email your résumé to

[email protected]

With a short paragraph about who you are and why this position speaks to you. And subject line: Manager position

We can’t wait to meet the next person who’s going to help change lives — starting with ours. 🐾

We’re Hiring — But This Isn’t Just any Job.
This is hard work. It’s messy. It’s loud. It’s sweaty. And it absolutely matters.
We’re looking for people who will show up — on time, ready to work, and ready to clean like lives depend on it. Because they do.
The dogs at our shelter need more than love — they need clean spaces, fresh water, proper feeding, medications on time, and people who follow instructions and protocols to keep them safe and healthy.
So if you’re someone who:
• Is reliable, not just when it’s easy
• Isn’t afraid to scrub, sweep, and mop every single day
• Can follow instructions and communicate
• Wants to do real, honest work that changes lives
Then we’d love to talk to you.
Loving dogs is great — but if you don’t like to clean and if you can’t be counted on — this isn’t the right job for you. We want team players who take pride in the work, even when it’s tough.
Because this work is tough. And it’s also deeply rewarding.
If that speaks to you, send us your resume. [email protected]

Our shelter is in need of a few large outdoor trash cans to keep up with the waste our dogs (and humans 😅) create each day. Right now, we only have two, and they are quickly overflowing—leading to piles of bags outside, which attracts rodents and makes cleanup harder for staff and local sanitation workers.

🗑️ We’ll share a photo of the ideal styles, but any large outdoor garbage bins are welcome and appreciated!

Donating a trash can might not seem glamorous—but it’s one of the small things that makes a big difference in our daily operations 💪🐾

📍 Drop-off in Piñones | Message us for info or to coordinate

Thank you for supporting the pups in every way possible! 💛🐶

🚨🚨New Wishlist Items + Urgent Need!🚨🚨

As we prepare for hurricane season, we’ve added some crucial new items to our wishlist—including rechargeable fans, solar lights and water storage solutions to help us stay safe and ready during emergencies.

Right now, water in Piñones has been extremely inconsistent—we’ve gone nearly 5 days without steady access. To help us keep the shelter clean and the dogs cared for, we’re also accepting 5-gallon water jugs—empty or full!
Tap water is perfect for cleaning.
If is Fresh water, Just label it so we can use it for the dogs to drink.

We know not everyone can donate, and that’s okay! Sharing our wishlist is just as helpful. Your shares bring our shelter the visibility and support we need. 💞
