About Us

The Edmonton Humane Society (EHS) has been serving Edmonton and area since 1907, dedicated to helping people and pets thrive, together. As a leader in animal welfare, we go beyond sheltering homeless animals — shaping a community that values the human-animal bond through advocacy, education and accessible support services.

Our mission is to enrich the lives of people and companion animals through sheltering animals in need, supporting pet guardians, engaging with our community and inspiring compassion. Guided by our values of compassion, trust, improvement, results, inclusivity and teamwork, we work toward a more humane and connected community for all.

The Role

Reporting to the Manager of Customer Experience, the Adoptions Supervisor oversees daily adoption operations to ensure successful matches and provides education to adopters regarding animal care needs.

You are passionate about coaching and mentoring staff, fostering a collaborative, engaged, and productive team environment. You thrive in a fast-paced setting and can effectively multitask with minimal supervision. With excellent communication skills and knowledge of emergency response protocols, you remain calm and empathetic in high-pressure situations. You are also confident and skilled in working with a culturally diverse team of staff, volunteers, and community members.
