The City of Oklahoma City is recruiting for an Animal Welfare Superintendent. Under the supervision of the Development Services Department Director, this position will oversee the Animal Welfare Division which includes four program areas to include: Animal Shelter, Community Outreach, Field Services, and Veterinary Services.
The Animal Shelter Program provides temporary animal care, animal adoptions and reclaim services so residents can have affordable pet adoption opportunities, and more animals can be saved. The Community Outreach Program provides education, opportunities for community engagement, animal placement outside of the shelter and support programs to residents so they can be informed and promote responsible pet ownership and assist with the goal of animals remaining in the home and reducing animal intake.
The Field Services Program provides public health and safety, public education, enforcement, and animal rescue services to the general public, so they can experience an environment of responsible pet ownership that is free of dangerous, stray or deceased animals. The Veterinary Services Program provides medical care to shelter pets and spay and neuter services to shelter and reclaimed pets to ensure that pet owners can experience the companionship of a healthy pet.
