Hi my name is Randi and I am looking for a job working with animals. Does anyone know of any jobs in the New Jersey area? I live in southern New Jersey, about a half hour from Philadelphia.

Thank You!

What towns are you near?

Since you're so close to Philly, are you available to work there too?

Hi 5thBeatle!

Thank you so much for responding. I thought I had it set up so that I would get an email if anyone responded to my post, but I didn't get an email?? So, I've just been on the website looking at all of the dogs. I want them all!!!! I wish....

I am close to Swedesboro, Woodstown, Glassboro. Philadelphia is a little further than I wanted to go. With the traffic it can be a pretty long ride sometimes.

Thank you for any help!

Randi

My name is Linn and, I too, am interested in working with animals. My desire is to work at an animal sanctuary. The animals I'd like to work with are dogs, cats, farm animals, horses, rabbits, etc. How does one go about seeking that sort of employment? I've been told by friends that I should give "Best Friends" a call and perhaps they could give me some ideas or leads. Where do I start?
