I wish that some decisions that were made had been a little more transparent in terms of why. Sometimes it felt like we weren't getting the full truth.

Helping with the treatment of animals and seeing them get adopted.

Team

May - September 2019 • Seminole, FL

What I liked

Everything, I received a lot of hands on experience that I can use to help me school wise (in the vet tech or PT programs).

What I wish was different

I wish we had more time to spend with the animals during the rescue process. It can be a little sad getting these animals in bad shape but you really step up to help get them comfortable.

Advice

Dont be afraid of hard work. It can be labor intensive if your working with the larger dogs or ones that need alot of exercise. Dont try to take home the kittens, they absolutely check and do not think its funny.
