Animal Care Keeper

Yellowstone Wildlife Sanctuary has an immediate opening for a full-time keeper on our Animal Care team! Our Animal Care team consists of three professionals, currently caring for a total of 32 animals, all non-releasable native species of the Yellowstone ecosystem. Currently this includes: Gray  wolves, red foxes, bobcats, American bison, black bears, raccoons, coyotes, an American badger. common ravens, an American crow, sandhill cranes, and species of birds of prey.

As a small wildlife facility, we have the ability to really lean into individual interests, whether they be acting as the primary trainer for an animal, updating the old or building new furniture options, or assisting in the education department. It’s important to our team that everyone gets to do the parts of the job that are fulfilling.

The Sanctuary is located in Red Lodge, Montana – nestled at the base of the Beartooth Mountains provides access to beautiful hikes, and plays host to Red Lodge Ski Mountain. At the front of the Beartooth Highway, we’re a short-drive away from Yellowstone National Park, with the closest entrance being directly into Lamar Valley. Other nearby outdoor locations include the Pryor Mountains, the Crazy Mountains and the Bighorn Canyon.
