1) love of dogs and have an understanding of their behavior and general knowledge of all things canine medical

In addition to our love of dogs, CPR's mission is also one of love, tolerance, patience, and acceptance. No mean people need to apply because you won't fit in. Work hours have some flexibility but absenteeism isn't something we like dealing with so only the dependable need apply.
