Every time I share my experience of interning at the Halifax Humane Society, almost everyone is interested and happy to chat. Animals are such an enjoyment in peoples lives, they really do become part of families and have the power to positively impact people in many ways.

One thing that always kept me happy through out my time at the Halifax Humane Society was the genuine care that everyone working at the facility had. Each staff member was always ready for another long day of dealing with the various animals, and each volunteer was happy to be there and help out in any way possible. Having a few pets, and caring for more than 50 dogs are two completely different tasks. The staff works very hard to keep the animals safe, healthy, and happy.

One person in particular works the hardest of all; Dr. Wolfe the only on staff veterinarian at the facility. She is constantly working and still has the distinct and unique love for the animals she works with. Dr. Wolfe would take the time out of her busy days to talk with the kids at camp and I was always super appreciative each and every time. She also was treating my dog this summer for heartworms which gave me another reason to really appreciate her work. She has spay and neutering surgeries on Tuesdays and Thursdays where she works on about 50 or more animals each day.

In general, all of the employees shared a common virtue and care for animals that emanates the facility with happy and caring vibes.
