Who we are
We’re proud to have a dedicated team of full-time, long-term animal caretakers rather than volunteers at our rescue shelter in Hoi An, Vietnam, and Phong Dien Wildlife Center. These committed individuals ensure our animals have consistent care from people they know and trust.
Why Full-Time, Paid Caretakers?
- 24/7 Presence: At least one caretaker lives on-site at our shelter and two at the wildlife center, guaranteeing around-the-clock care.
- Skilled Labor: Our staff receives specialized training in animal care, medication administration, and biosecurity protocols. This level of expertise is crucial for ensuring our rescues remain safe and comfortable.
- Stability for the Animals: Many of our rescues have PTSD or other issues due to past abuse or neglect. Keeping a steady team reduces stress, fosters trust, and provides a proper sanctuary environment.
Valuing Our Staff
Caring for animals is honest, skilled work that deserves fair compensation. Just as you’d pay professionals in healthcare or wildlife conservation, we pay our caretakers a living wage and offer:
- Visa Support & Private Housing: They can fully dedicate themselves to the job without worrying about basic needs.
- Paid Holidays: To maintain work-life balance and overall well-being.
- Opportunities for Growth: Long-term staff learn more about animal care daily, deepening their expertise and impact.
