Pet Assistance, Inc. (PAi) has been helping to save pets' lives since 1973.
PAi subsidizes emergency and urgent vet care for people in financial need.
The person may be needed only 2-3 hours a day, 2-3 days a week depending on how many applications are received. Times and days vary. After initial orientation sessions, the applicant can work remotely from home. (Familiarize yourself with our website before applying! www.petassistanceinc.org)
A 'case worker' needs to review applications from people seeking funds for emergency care for their pet, follow through on cases from beginning to end, and handle calls as well.
This is NOT a shelter or rescue: Customer service, social work skills and being deltail oriented are more important to us than vet tech experience.
