How much do you get paid if you work at an animal shelter?

Answer 1

Most local animal rescue groups are charities, with most people working in them volunteering their time and money. A few people, such as the director/president of the charity, may be able to support themselves full-time with the donations to the charity but it's not an elite lifestyle.

National rescue groups such as HSUS do have full-time staff that are paid from the donations to the group. Again, most of these salaries are low to mid-range, likely $30-45,000 a year with few benefits. Only a few people (president, PR manager, etc.) will have significant salaries.

Answer 2

If you're working in animal rescue through an organization (such as the Humane Society of the United States or the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals), you most likely are not an employee, but a volunteer. Therefore, you don't have a salary. If you work to rescue animals through the government, however, you will be paid. How much is hard to determine, but most likely, it won't be too great.

Answer 3

The salary depends on the person's area(s) of residence and the type/species of animal(s)that they rescue.

Some states pay animal rescuers while some don't (although I'm uncertain as to which states fit into each category).

Answer 4

probably about £100 a week

So is that ture whare or not? Where do you live at? Because I live in Burlington Nc

that's all I can tell you. Okay! Because I don't think that they will give me 100

Daller Bill's not all of that in one day right. But where do you work at? Because I want really want to work at a animal shelter. This will be my frist time working there

so wish me luck. This coming Thursday okay! Think you! so very much.

Answer 5

In many cases, nothing! In fact, when I did cat rescue, I spent money on vaccinations and cat care. But they do help raise awareness about animal rights, and why people should be kind to animals!

Answer 6

They don't make any.... They are in debt thousands and sometimes millions of dollars and they depend on donations.

Answer 7

The average for a beginner is $12 an hour.

Answer 8

Depends on your angle. Most animal rescuers are volunteers though (which means they do not get paid, they rescue animals because they love animals).
