NYC Second Chance Rescue

Dog Shelter Employee

July - August 2019 • Peekskill, NY

What I liked

spending time with dogs, the unique shift times, the energy of the environment, the freedom of time to work with the dogs and do other work around the building when the dogs were resting

What I wish was different

I honestly could not find an issue

Advice

there is always something to do. Obviously small breaks are necessary and allowed by employers but you really should never be sitting around. Things can be moved, organized, cleaned, a dog can be taken out (aka there are tasks you should be completeing). I stopped for maybe 10 minutes each shift to eat, but for the rest of the 5 hours i was on me feet, always moving, always doing something, helping someone out or working with a dog.
