testimonials

Every day is the most gratifying day of work I’ve ever had. Knowing that every project and task I do - even every email I send - all goes to saving the lives of the dogs and cats in our care makes me so proud. Best job I’ve ever had.

I joined Berkeley Humane as an intern back in June 2019 working closely with the dogs and their training. After a few months I became a member of staff, and took a more prominent roll on the team. I've loved being involved in every area of work here and have further developed my skills in understanding behavior and in both cats and dogs. Knowing that we're doing our best to find an excellent home for our animals makes my job so much more fulfilling.

Join our team! Bring your knowledge and skills to Berkeley Humane and help us save lives!

Let's get the paw-ty started! I make sure every Berkeley Humane event is going it's absolute best! Events like Bark (and Meow) Around the Block and Pints for Paws bring attention to homeless dogs and cats and allow us to raise money to help save their lives! What can be better than that!?
