We are in need of an additional North Pinellas Pet Professor.
The job description would primarily be visiting kindergarten and elementary age children in their classrooms discussing proper
animal care, safety around animals and the human/animal bond. There are many other opportunities to visit summer camps and
outreach events throughout the year. We would prefer a Certified/Credentialed Veterinary Technician to fill this position but not required. Salary is based on the number

Pinellas County Animal Services
Greetings from the staff and volunteers at Pinellas County Animal Services. We have had a very produc-
tive winter here at the shelter. We utilized Presidents’ Day to work with staff and 30 volunteers to super-
clean and disinfect our entire facility while our population is low to prepare for the spring influx. We are
also very excited to have our new Cat Adoption Room under construction. The room will be larger, have
natural light, new cat condos, and a small free roaming cat area. All our cat enthusiasts are excited about
this positive change for our adoption cats.
I would also like to ask you to assist us with citizen education regarding coyotes. It is important for all
domestic cats to be kept indoors and please do not use retractable leashes when walking your small dogs
at dawn or dusk. This is the time when they are most vulnerable to coyotes. Also, coyote pup season is
almost upon us and the adults will be more diligent during this time.
Thank you for your support and your assistance.
