Is an internship for you?
Do you love being with animals? Are you thinking of a career working with animals but not quite sure? Or want some hands on experience? Our General Animal Care Internship program runs for 4 weeks at the sanctuary and we offer them six times a year. You need to be 20 years of age and have a desire and ability to work with the animals. Interns will work in all the animal areas which include: dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, horses, pigs and wildlife. You will work side by side with the caregivers performing daily tasks and chores, learning what it takes to care for the animals.
