Do you have a passion for working with dogs—and want to put that passion to work for a meaningful cause?

Alaqua Animal Refuge , a nationally recognized nonprofit rescue and sanctuary on 100 acres in Freeport, Florida, is seeking a dedicated Animal Care Technician to join our team. We care for dogs and puppies of all breeds, sizes, and backgrounds—many of whom come from situations of abuse, neglect, or abandonment.

This role is hands-on, physical, and deeply rewarding for someone who wants to make a real difference in the lives of dogs in need.

  • Assist with health care routines, medication administration, and veterinary clinic visits
  • Monitor behavior, note changes, and report health or behavioral concerns
  • Help with playgroups, socialization, enrichment, and daily routines
  • Support intake and rehabilitation plans for newly rescued dogs
  • Provide love, structure, and compassion to dogs who need it most

What We’re Looking For

  • Prior hands-on experience with dogs in a shelter, kennel, veterinary, or training environment (required)
  • Ability to safely handle dogs of all sizes and temperaments
  • Hardworking, dependable, and comfortable working outdoors in all weather
  • Physically fit and capable of lifting 50+ lbs, handling strong dogs, cleaning, and more
  • Team player with strong communication skills and deep compassion for animals

Why Join the Alaqua Team?

  • Work directly with rescued dogs and puppies in a peaceful, healing environment
  • Be part of a passionate team dedicated to second chances and lifelong care
  • Do meaningful, active work that makes a daily impact
  • Enjoy a beautiful 100-acre sanctuary filled with hope and heart
  • Flexible schedules | Full and part-time roles | Ongoing training and growth opportunities

If you’ve got a heart for dogs and a strong work ethic, we’d love to have you on the team.
