Kennel Attendant
Kennel attendants are responsible for the daily care of all shelter animals and their environments. Cleaning, feeding, medicating, exercising, and socializing the shelter animals are only some of the tasks kennel attendants complete daily. Kennel attendants ensure each animal is presented at its best and in the most fitting environment possible. They take on the task of providing the daily necessities to the animals that for whatever reason can no longer be provided for by their owners. Through personal experience with each animal, the kennel attendants serve as a valuable link between the potential adopters and the individual animals available.

Adoptions Clerk
Adoption clerks help the Delaware County SPCA find the perfect forever homes for the many animals that walk through our doors. Adoption clerks have to be able to handle shelter animals as well as customers. It is vital to remember that every person at the shelter is somehow connected to an animal and vice versa. Through time spent with adopters, education of those interested in our animals, and attempting to reunite lost pets with their owners our adoption clerks present our best face to the public everyday. Computer and phone skills along with a strong sense of working courteously with the public are a must.
