Maui Humane Society is a beautiful, open air animal shelter for cats, dogs, rabbits, guinea pigs, turtles, and other animals in need of safe shelter. We are the island’s only open-admission animal shelter, which means we take in every pet in need, providing veterinary and routine care and helping surrendered animals find a new home. We also provide humane law enforcement services, humane education and outreach, and free and low-cost spay and neuter surgeries. Our team culture is creative, fast-paced, and collaborative and we are seeking problem-solvers who love animals and have great customer service skills. Our team adores people with can-do attitudes and friendly smiles who love people as much as animals. We approach every person and animal as an individual and pride ourselves on being a place where our employees love to come to work! Our employees are trained in Fear-Free animal handling and can even receive a certification. We are committed to your growth and will work with you to get you where you want to be in your career. Our benefits include a competitive salary, paid time off, medical, vision, and dental insurance, and free adoptions. Employees get at least one weekend day off and you’ll have a consistent, flexible schedule. Our employees and volunteers love MHS because we have very low euthanasia rates, everyone is empowered to save lives, and we truly care about the people who work here!
