Dear Hiring Manager,

As an Animal Control Specialist with 6 years of experience in local government and humane society settings, I apply with enthusiasm for this opportunity.

I am currently an Animal Control Officer with Sunnybank County Council, where I respond to complaints about animal abuse and neglect, as well as emergency calls from the police. Mirroring your requirements, I set traps, remove dead animals, euthanize animals, and complete paperwork. I am used to dealing with uncontrolled animals, emotional owners, and members of the public. This builds upon my time as an Animal Welfare Worker at Halliwell Humane Society, where I processed incoming animals, fed them and administered medication, and oversaw the adoption process.

In addition to my experience, I hold a Level 3 Animal Welfare Officer Diploma. My performance reviews reflect my excellent communication, interpersonal, conflict resolution, and decision-making skills, as well as my ability to quickly defuse tense situations and negotiate satisfactory resolutions. 

As my family is relocating, I am seeking a new animal welfare opportunity closer to my new home.

Please find attached my résumé for your consideration. Thank you very much for your time. I look forward to hearing from you regarding next steps.

Yours sincerely,

Amy Parker
