Do you have a passion for animals and want to make a sincere difference in their lives? Join us at Free to Live Animal Sanctuary as we change the landscape of animal welfare in our state.
Established in 1984, Free to Live Animal Sanctuary is the largest nonprofit, no-kill animal sanctuary in Oklahoma. Whether they are strays, abused, mistreated, neglected or extreme medical cases - all of the dogs and cats at the sanctuary live out their lives with love, companionship and a sense of family from dedicated staff and volunteers.
The sanctuary started as just a dream in the 80s for founders Bill and Pat Larson. This was long before animal welfare was prominent in Oklahoma. They purchased 20 acres of land, and with the help of a handful of dedicated volunteers brought Free to Live Animal Sanctuary to fruition. The sanctuary has since saved thousands of Oklahoma animals.
We are now seeking a Kennel Manager to live on property and work daily with staff, our Free to Live dogs and the Oklahoma community.
The primary responsibility of the Kennel Manager is to provide a clean and pleasing environment for the dogs, tending to both their physical and mental health.

While managing daily operations in the Kennel, the Kennel Manager is responsible for watching for any signs of illness, wounds, or any other medical conditions that must be addressed.
The manager must also have strong verbal skills and be able to interact with the public on a daily basis. A valid driver's license is also needed.
The Kennel Manager reports directly to the Executive Director.
