Direct animal care staff and volunteers will continue to provide care to the more than 250 adoptable animals currently residing at the no-kill shelter on Sundays, according to the news release and the shelter’s roster of adoptable animals.
The center will still be open for adoption and animal reclaiming Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m.-6 p.m. and for intake Monday through Friday during the same hours. Owners looking to reclaim their pets on Sundays can contact 311 and request an animal protection officer.
A wave of local staffing shortages has struck businesses across many industries. Tamara Atkinson, CEO of Workforce Solutions Capital Area, which supports job seekers in the nine counties surrounding Austin, said in October that she has seen staffing shortages across the region.
Data from Atkinson’s organization showed that from 2019-21, total job postings in Williamson County increased by 11.1%.
AAC is hiring for several open positions. Candidates can apply through the city of Austin website.
