EMPLOYMENT APPLICATION DISCLAIMER

We would like to thank you for your interest in working at Playful Pups Retreat. However, we have found in the past that many people do not have a very realistic view of what working in a facility like ours involves.  Please read the below information prior to completing your application.

First, we want you to understand our primary purpose is to take care of other people’s pets. This is not a responsibility to be taken lightly.  This position requires a genuine love of animals, and staff members who are mature enough to understand and accept the responsibilities involved with their care.  This job does not simply entail playing with puppies all day; all staff are required to clean up any “accidents”, feed the dogs in our care, administer medications and attend to each dogs comfort and security at all times. This requires a great deal of hard work and dedication.

While working here you will be exposed to loud noises, harsh chemicals, dog urine and feces, and possibly a variety of parasites and zoonoses, (medical ailments that people can acquire from animals).  There is always a risk of being bitten, scratched or mauled. These are the potential hazards you face and accept when working in the pet care industry.

Each employee we have shares in all of the responsibilities involved with the daily operations of our facility. While we certainly attempt to make the best use of each staff member’s skills and experience, please realize that no one is exempt from any aspect of our daily routine, including the more mundane and unpleasant chores that need to be performed.  You will be expected to mop floors, clean guest rooms, empty trash cans, etc.  On most days you will be required to clean urine, feces or vomit.  If you have any allergies to pet hair or are unable to lift 50 pounds this may not be the job you are looking for.

We are looking for mature, responsible and dependable employees.  You must be patient, calm, intelligent and self-motivated at all times.  We take our profession very seriously and expect the same from every staff member.  If you are able to accept all of these items and are willing to learn and make a commitment to the dogs in our care then please sign below and complete our employment application.
