See the impact of your work in the eyes of every animal we help.
We call ourselves #TeamBVSPCA. We’re passionate animal advocates deeply committed to our work and continuously innovating how we do that work. We say our organization is a lot like a start-up company, except the main mission is saving lives. The pace is fast, collaboration is key, and results matter. It’s hard work with big rewards in every life you save, every pet you help, every family you help.
At Eastern Shore Pet Resort, we offer luxury dog and cat boarding in a spacious and low-stress setting, as well as doggie daycare services.
We provide an unmatched, quality experience for pets and their parents every day of the year.
ESPR in Georgetown, DE, provides safe doggie daycare, crate-free & low-stress boarding in premier suites with trained staff, and access to 24-hour veterinary staff.
The Shelter Coordinator reports to the Operations Manager & Director of Operations; Oversees Animal Care in the absence of the Operations Manager.
The Shelter Coordinator works closely with the Operations Manager to help supervise the day-to-day functions of the shelter. The Shelter Coordinator is responsible for the herd health of the shelter population which includes acting as the primary medical care provider for shelter animals under the direction of the veterinarians, and controlling the flow of the animals moving through the shelter.
The Animal Care Attendant is responsible for cleaning and providing humane care to the animals in the BVSPCA custody and to assist all stakeholders in a professional and friendly manner when needed.

Must love animals! Sure, that seems obvious, but you need to really love animals. It's not all puppies and kittens, although they are a big perk. The work can be hard, physically and emotionally, but the rewards are huge.
And people, too. We believe deeply in the human/animal bond, so our work is about helping people as much as it is helping pets. This could be adopters, pet families visiting our clinic, or community supporters.
Ready for a challenge? The employees who thrive in our organization rise to the challenge, from stepping up to help in a natural disaster to taking the extra time to figure out how to help a frightened dog or cat feel safe.
Self-starters wanted! We believe there are always more ways to help save lives. We need folks who take ownership of their role, break down barriers, and bring new ideas. In return, we offer virtually endless learning opportunities and prioritize career growth from within the team.
