Our mission is to enrich the lives of people and companion animals through sheltering animals in need, supporting pet guardians, engaging with our community and inspiring compassion. Guided by our values of compassion, trust, improvement, results, inclusivity and teamwork, we work toward a more humane and connected community for all.

The Role

An Adoptions Counsellor plays a vital role in fostering meaningful connections between people and pets by facilitating the adoption of cats, dogs, and small animals, ensuring each match leads to a happy and healthy bond.

You bring excellent verbal and written communication skills and thrive in a fast-paced environment while working both independently and as part of a team. You are confident and comfortable handling animals of all species and temperaments.

OUR COMMITMENT TO INCLUSION & SAFETY

The Edmonton Humane Society (EHS) was founded on the principles of creating positive change in our community. Our hiring practices embrace compassion, support for our staff and volunteers, and our role as a community leader.
