Hey Marissa,
I definitely understand the feeling of wanting to still be a part of the animal welfare world, even without physically being in the shelter. Most of the ideas I've encountered or have come across are volunteer-oriented, but for part-time stuff, you may want to look into things like weekend clinics, if you're a vet or a vet tech. Everyone I know is desperate for any veterinary help they can find and places like Tractor Supply or PetsMart that offer vaccination clinics may be looking to hire for the occasional weekend. As for shelters itself, I actually reached out to some local rescues and offered my services as a grant writer at an insanely reduced rate. It lets me still contribute to the shelter without actually being there.
For part-time, work from home things, I think your best bet may be to reach out to shelters to see what they need, and then come up with a job that you can pitch to them. Things like helping to set up specific programs and get it running, or even doing what is basically contract work setting up events or getting a shelter's social media off the ground and creating the framework to make it sustainable would be something I could see shelters being interested in.
Sorry I don't have any specific leads I can point you in the direction in. I've primarily had success convincing a shelter of the job I can do and then going from there, rather than seeking job postings.
Good luck!

Hello friends,
I wanted to see if any of you know of any part time employment opportunities in animal welfare that are possibly work from home? I miss the shelter world and want to still contribute to the cause but I just cannot commit to that work full time. We have a wonderful community here on the forum so I thought I'd reach out here first. I'd love to hear any ideas you may have if any at all.
