Unique Company Culture and Mission
Our Mission
At Path of Hope Rescue we save pregnant dogs and puppies from high kill shelters in the Southern United States.
Our Spokane, Washington based Rescue strives to decrease the euthanasia rate of high risk dogs in the southern United States by transporting pregnant dogs and puppies to the Pacific Northwest to find adoptive homes. We do not have a kennel or building location and are 100% foster based. We currently have two paid employees and rely heavily on volunteers and fosters as we work to build out our paid staff roles.
Our Vision.
Eliminating euthanasia of dogs in the South by decreasing the amount of dogs breeding unchecked and becoming the number one 'dog destination' in Spokane by capitalizing on Spokane's love of Rescue Dogs.
Core Values:
Transparency - sharing the good with the bad
Community - dog loving people who treat each other well
Golden Rule - treating others how you would want to be treated
Our Company Culture
We are freedom loving American Patriots who love dogs, love freedom and love Jesus.
No NGO status here, we don't take a single penny from the government. We are 100% funded by small donors and our adoption program, with a few small private grants here and there. We built this organization from the ground up in 2018 with $87.
We are built tough and believe that hard work pays off. We're about rolling up our sleeves and taking responsibility for our own actions. We don't do drama. There are no victims here and the system isn't out to get you, the only thing standing in your way is you and your attitude. We reward merit, not DEI or pronouns. We don't bend to the cultural rot out there.
At the core of who we are, we love dogs. At PHR you will find people who recognize your dog before they recognize you. Where it's normal for your dog to have his own Instagram and people who expect to be invited to your dog's birthday party. We are focused on building a strong, positive community, one dog and one person at a time.
We know dogs are family and should be treated that way. And we are driven by a shared passion to make sure every dog who isn't being loved, finds their way to a family. We care for each other and have created a community of people who love making a difference in this world.

Prepare your application
Use the description above to assess your fit for Path of Hope Rescue. This checklist is guidance from Resumize, rather than additional requirements from the employer. Imported listings can be shortened or change after collection, so confirm the complete description and current availability before sending an application.
Match requirements to evidence
Identify the responsibilities and skills the employer explicitly names. For each important requirement, choose one example from your work, education, training, or projects. Explain what you did, how you did it, and what changed as a result. Include a measurable outcome when you can support it. If you lack a requirement, describe related experience accurately instead of adding an unfamiliar skill to your resume.
Put the most relevant examples near the top of your resume. Keep job titles, dates, qualifications, and contact details consistent across your application materials. Use the employer’s terminology when it describes your experience accurately; a copied list of keywords does not explain your contribution. A short, specific bullet is easier to review than a paragraph that mixes several unrelated duties.
Check the working arrangement
Confirm the location, schedule, employment type, and any eligibility requirements on the employer’s site. A remote label does not establish worldwide eligibility or flexible hours. If compensation, benefits, equipment, travel, or contract duration are missing from this listing, write down your questions for the recruiter. Do not assume details from another opening at the same company apply to this role.
Review before submitting
Follow the employer’s requested file format and application instructions. Open your exported resume and check that its text is selectable, its sections read in order, and its links work. Proofread names, dates, and contact information. Share confidential work samples only when you have permission, and use an anonymized example when necessary.
Submit through a trusted employer or recruiting destination. If the original listing has disappeared, search the employer’s careers page for the title rather than assuming the vacancy remains open. Save the application date, job reference, and the version of your resume you sent. Those details help you prepare for a later conversation and avoid submitting conflicting information through several job boards.
Review your resume for writing and readability feedback, or browse other openings if this opportunity is unavailable.
