Are you up for challenging, physically demanding work that is vital to our life-saving mission?
The ASPCA's Animal Relocation team is responsible for transporting more than 35,000 dogs and cats each year.Using both land and air transportation, the ASPCA partners with source shelters in areas with high homeless pet populations and transports animals to destination shelters in communities where adoptable animals are in high demand.
This lifesaving work is only possible with the highest standards for animal care and the right tools and equipment in place. We are seeking temporary, part-time Animal Relocation Vehicle, Crate & Inventory Assistants, a contracted position hired through a third-party staffing agency, to inventory and prepare flight crates and supplies prior to transport, deconstruct and clean animal crates following a transport, and prepare the crates for shipment to be used in future transports.
This is tough, physically strenuous work. It's also crucial to the success of our program - properly sanitized crates, and a well-managed inventory of readily accessible supplies, contribute to the health of the animals on transport and ensure we can maximize the number of animals relocated and save more lives.
This is a temporary, contingent position and the person hired will be employed through a third-party staffing agency.

About Us:The ASPCA was founded in 1866 on the belief that animals are entitled to kind and respectful treatment by humans and must be protected under the law. As a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit corporation with more than two million supporters nationwide, the ASPCA is committed to preventing cruelty to dogs, cats, equines, and farm animals throughout the United States.
The ASPCA is headquartered in New York City, where we maintain a full-service animal hospital, spay/neuter clinic, mobile spay/neuter and primary pet care clinics, a rehabilitation center for canine victims of cruelty, kitten nursery, adoption center, and two community veterinary centers.
The ASPCA also operates programs and services that extend nationwide. We assist animals in need through on-the-ground disaster and cruelty interventions, behavioral rehabilitation, animal placement, legal and legislative advocacy, and the advancement of the sheltering and veterinary community through research, training, and resources.
At the ASPCA, we are committed to fostering a collaborative and compassionate culture and we welcome all voices to contribute to our lifesaving mission. Our staff represent a vast array of backgrounds and diversity dimensions, bringing with them valuable experiences and perspectives. They join the ASPCA to learn, grow, and continually do their best work on behalf of animals. We are inspired by our staff, partners, and the communities we support across the country who work to improve animal lives. We are committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion at the ASPCA because it elevates our organizational culture, aligns with our Core Values, and enables us to move further and faster toward the ASPCA's vision - that all animals live good lives; valued by society, protected by its laws, and free from cruelty, pain and suffering.
