Henry is a class act

Four years ago I had the pleasure of adopting Henry, a 1-year-old pup, from AHS in Coon Rapids. He was clearly well taken care of by the shelter staff, which is apparent with his love of people and other animals.

Shortly after adopting we began training at AHS. As smart as he is, he breezed through the levels of training and earned his Canine Good Citizen certificate (proud dog mom moment). He even started volunteering as a therapy dog for my grandmother and hospice patients.

Outside of volunteering, Henry loves to run, hike, camp, road trip, and play with his best dog pals. He is the gentlest soul with an occasional crazy side. I tell him every day that I love him and that I’m lucky to have him!

Now hiring: veterinary technicians

Animal Humane Society is looking for veterinary technicians to join our team. Vet techs play an integral role in helping the more than 23,000 animals that come through our doors each year. By providing examinations, assisting in surgery, and treating animals in our shelter, vet techs provide the compassionate care these animals deserve while helping us achieve a more than 95 percent placement rate.

An associate degree or a minimum of one year experience working as a vet tech is required. Animal Humane Society offers competitive pay and benefits, a one-of-a-kind work environment, and the opportunity to make a difference for animals in need.
