I was much like you a few months ago. I had worked at an amusement park for four years and I was kind of over that job at this point. It was seasonal so I was never making money in the winter either. I liked it enough, I LOVED my co-workers and still do (most of them), but I got sick of the favoritism and all so I decided it was time for a change. Anyway, I wasn't really looking for a job but saw an ad in the paper for a local kennel/doggy day care that had just opened. I e-mailed them immediately and they told me to fill out an application. A week later I was working there on a week trial period, which was over in 3 days. Needless to say I love it, I enjoy my co-workers and I LOVE the dogs.

It took me years to finally get a kennel job so it may take awhile. I also wanted to say it does happen when you least expect it. Just to clarify, I work at Camp Bow Wow, it's a franchise so there are quite a few around. I see you live in Indiana and I did a little search for you. I don't know where you live in Indiana but there's two within the state.

I have a 30 minute commute to work, which is the farthest I've had since I began working at 15. They need people who are reliable, willing to clean throw-up, poop, & pee. Obviously, you can't be scared of dogs either. Not big dogs or pitbulls or any of that. It's a good place to work. I hope you find something close to you. Good luck.
