My life usually has a strange way of playing itself out so I usually just sit back, relax, and let the strange events unfold. With new-found anxiety attacks and stress in my last semester of Junior yea,r I found myself fully relaxed while volunteering as a cat socializer/dog walker at the Halifax Humane Society.  This resulted in the adoption of two kittens and a pit-bull. While I completely looked past it’s relevance at the time, the opportunity to intern at the Humane Society came about and I couldn’t have been more interested.

Working with animals is an extremely interesting experience. It offers a plethora of emotions while inadvertently helping the animals. caring for and playing with animals helps relieve stress and anxiety while giving the animals the attention they deserve.

I am beyond excited to begin the internship. I cannot wait to start working with and getting to know the animals and other people working in such a rewarding and important place. The joy pets bring to families and love that families bring to pets is irreplaceable. I believe this internship will open up many doors for me into the world of non-profit organization as well as careers directly involved with Humane Societies around the Country.
