Supervisor, Adoptions
Full-Time Permanent
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.
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. This role maintains a strong public presence, upholds exceptional customer service standards, and manages staff scheduling. The Adoptions Supervisor also supports the Animal Care and Admitting teams as needed to ensure high standards of animal welfare and customer service are consistently maintained.

• Collaborate with other supervisors to develop and implement plans that enhance staff morale and engagement.
• Supervise departmental volunteers and coordinate volunteer workflow.
Interdepartmental Support

• Maintain comprehensive knowledge and training across all operational areas, including Admitting, Adoptions and Animal Care to provide seamless cross departmental support
Administration
• Participate in recruitment, hiring, onboarding, and training of staff and volunteers.
• Review and maintain accurate animal records in Shelter Buddy.

The ideal candidate demonstrates strong customer service skills and experience handling animals, including those in distress or deceased. 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.
Joining EHS means becoming part of a compassionate and dedicated team working toward a more humane community. You’ll be surrounded by passionate professionals who care deeply about what they do — for animals, for people, and for each other.

Enriching the lives of people & companion animals through animal sheltering, programs & services, & community engagement
Founded in 1907, the Edmonton Humane Society (EHS) is one of the oldest and most reputable charities in both Alberta and the animal welfare sector. Each day, EHS strives to be a model of excellence in the advancement of animal welfare and to lead the movement in creating a more humane world. Thousands of homeless, neglected and abandoned companion animals from Edmonton and surrounding communities are taken in by EHS every year. These animals are provided with veterinary treatment, behavioural rehabilitation, care and enrichment from EHS staff and a large volunteer and foster network of over 1,000 people. The dedication and commitment to these animals gives them a second chance at finding a forever home, which they may not otherwise have. As a registered charity, EHS receives no government funding and relies on the generosity of the community to do the work that they do. Every gift helps fulfill a step in an animal’s journey to a forever home. Beyond animal sheltering, EHS engages with the community and offers programs and services to pet owners and pet lovers alike. Through these programs and services, community engagement, and animal sheltering, the Edmonton Humane Society enriches the lives of people and companion animals.
