Qualifications:

- Strong verbal communication skills
- Capability to handle, lift, and restrain animals
- Excellent problem-solving and organizational skills
- Ability to manage multiple tasks and remain adaptable in a fast-paced environment
- Genuine love for animals and a patient, compassionate attitude towards their human companions

At our practice, we truly value the power of individual contributions and personal connections.
