The Animal Foundation made a difference in the Las Vegas community by saving the lives of over 16,900 lost, abandoned, and homeless animals last year.
This was made possible by the combination of individual talent and great teamwork, which is why one of our most important investments is our team members.

Perks and Benefits
We’re the Pet-Friendliest Employer in Town!
Depending on your position, you could be eligible to bring your pet to work with you. Our Low-Cost Vet Clinic can also provide your cat and dog vaccines at a discount below our already low prices. Can’t bring your pet to work? We also offer opportunities to foster pets while you work.
Relax, We’ve Got You Covered
The Animal Foundation pays full-time team members’ monthly premiums for dental, vision, short-term disability, and life insurance. The Animal Foundation also contributes to team members’ premiums for medical insurance. Supplemental coverage is available at each team member’s expense. Coverage for family members, including domestic partners, is also available for most plans at the team member’s expense.
Work-Life Balance
We believe that quality time outside of work is vital to satisfaction at work. That’s why our PTO (paid time off) plan gives full-time team members the flexibility to take time off when they need it most. This helps our team members come back refreshed and ready to continue helping us to achieve our mission.
Saving for Your Future
The Animal Foundation offers a 401(K) retirement plan for all team members that matches 50% of what you contribute up to 6% of your salary. This plan vests at a rate of 20% per anniversary year with 100% vested on your fifth anniversary.
Unleashing Your Potential
We hire people who are excited about learning. With management approval, some job positions at The Animal Foundation include company-paid travel, training, licensing, and certification.
Our Core Values
The Power of ONE
Both individual talent and great teamwork are essential to our success. Each of us is an important member of ONE team with ONE mission. It’s about the entire organization. Think and act as ONE team.
360° Compassion
We are compassionate toward animals, fellow team members, patrons, our partners, and ourselves. This is easy if you remember The Golden Retriever Rule: Do unto others as you would do unto your pets.
Blessed Are the Flexible, for They Will Not Be Bent Out of Shape
Charles Darwin said, “The most important factor in survival is neither intelligence or strength, but adaptability.” We believe that to thrive we must be flexible. At the Animal Foundation, this means being willing, open-minded, adaptable, and resilient.
Communication Is Not a 2-Way Street, It’s a 6-Lane Highway
There is no such thing as over-communicating. Every team member needs to be able to make informed decisions. It is everyone’s responsibility to consciously engage in effective communications.
Be the Solution
We each embrace and own challenges, collaborating with others and seeking creative solutions, while always keeping the big picture in mind. We are solution-driven.
Unleash the Potential
We are a diverse group of talented individuals. We seek and provide opportunities to challenge and stretch ourselves and each other, pursuing both personal growth and the Animal Foundation’s mission. We unleash potential through experiences, learning from each other, self-development, and training.
Our Best Is Only as Good as My Best
I am The Animal Foundation: my attitude, how well I perform my job, my appearance, my interactions with others all reflect on the organization. The success of The Animal Foundation is based on my ability to consistently “be my best me.”
