As the only privately funded (non-animal control) open admission shelter in Philadelphia (and one of the few remaining in the country), MAR provides care for a wide range of animals, from those ready for placement in a new home to those that may need treatment or consultation for minor health or behavioral issues.
As a life saving organization, Morris Animal Refuge is committed to the mission of finding forever homes for all adoptable animals. Morris Animal Refuge seeks to expand the definition of what animals are considered to be "adoptable" and to support other shelters and rescue organizations by transferring in animals. Throughout the history of animal sheltering, only young, perfectly healthy animals with no recognized behavioral issues were considered suitable for adoption. We’ve turned to an adoption counseling method, which focuses on finding best fit between adopter and animal, and we've begun to build resources for medical care and behavioral rehabilitation through our Life Saver Fund.
Our shelter is operated by a small team of dedicated animal welfare advocates. Our overall staff size consists of 17 employees (including both front line and management). Benefits i
...nclude paid time off, health/dental/life insurance, coverage for continuing education, 401K, and other perks discussed at time of recruitment and hiring.
