Grab a dog, breath the fresh air and get some exercise! Like us, Shelter dogs crave a human connection and have a need for physical stimulation. Please consider joining our canine companion team!
During an afternoon shift (2-5 pm), our dog walkers provide an exercise, smelling and hearing enrichment activity for Shelter dogs as they walk them on our trails or play with them in the yard. Dog walkers are a crucial part of keeping these canines happy and healthy during their stay with SFAS.
You will be trained as a canine socializer & walker, which will also open you up to opportunities with Mobile Adoptions and Hounds around Town.

Description
Since 1939, Santa Fe Animal Shelter has been dedicated to its mission to support animals, save lives, and spread compassion.
We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Our federal tax ID # is 85-6000484.
Santa Fe Animal Shelter focuses on accessible spay and neuter programs in an effort to beat animal population at its core. Creative adoption efforts and dozens of programs provide support for marginalized animals and work to place homeless animals into loving families.
Thanks to a partnership with the City of Santa Fe and the Bureau of Land Management, the main shelter is housed on a 100-acre campus complete with walking trails and play yards for daily enrichment for our Shelter residents, as well as single and multi-use public dog parks.
Come visit our facilities to experience how Santa Fe cares for its animals. The shelter is not just a place to adopt an animal or to find a missing one, but a place to visit over and over again. This is your shelter, built by this community - a place to find joy with companions.
