shelter worker
Rescues abandoned pets
A shelter worker is someone employed at a facility that provides temporary housing or care—typically an animal shelter or a homeless shelter.
At animal shelters, workers feed, clean, and care for animals awaiting adoption.
At homeless shelters, they assist with intake, meals, and services for people without permanent housing.
