Dear Hiring Manager,

I am writing to express my interest in the Animal Control Specialist position. With 8 years of experience in local government and humane society settings, I believe I am well-equipped to contribute to your team.

Currently serving as the Senior Animal Control Officer at Sunnybank County Council, I oversee a team of 7 in handling complaints related to animal abuse/neglect and emergency police calls. My responsibilities include setting traps, removing deceased animals, euthanizing animals, and completing necessary paperwork. Prior to this role, I worked as an Animal Welfare Specialist at Halliwell Humane Society, where I managed incoming animals, provided care and medication, and facilitated the adoption process.

In addition to my hands-on experience, I hold a Level 3 Animal Welfare Officer Diploma. My performance evaluations consistently highlight my strong communication, interpersonal, conflict resolution, and decision-making skills. I am adept at handling challenging situations and finding satisfactory resolutions.

I am excited about the opportunity to utilize my expertise in a shelter-based management role. I am eager to lead a team in ensuring the humane treatment of animals, promoting spay/neuter initiatives, and facilitating successful adoptions.

I have attached my résumé for your review. Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to the possibility of discussing how my skills and experience align with your needs.

Sincerely,
Amy Parker
