Most importantly, you bring empathy, professionalism, and a strong desire to make a difference in the lives of animals every day. Working Conditions: Work may expose you to odors, animal waste, and moderate noise, as well as animals who may be fearful or reactive. You'll be part of a supportive, mission-driven environment where your learning and safety are prioritized. The ability to lift up to 50 pounds and stand or sit for extended periods is required, as is the willingness to work around animal-related sights, sounds, and smells. This is a hands-on, educational internship offering meaningful experience in animal behavior, shelter enrichment, and humane care. Why This Internship Matters: This internship offers a unique opportunity to learn directly from animal behavior professionals and gain insight into the behavioral support and enrichment strategies used in progressive animal welfare organizations. You'll leave with real-world experience, a deeper understanding of how behavior and enrichment impact animal outcomes, and the knowledge that your work helped improve the lives of animals waiting for their second chance.
