Hi everyone, just a quick question.

How did you become involved in working with Animals?

I am 21 and would love to start to work with animals. I am paying off my
house and can not afford to not work, but would start doing night courses if
they ever become available where i live!

Did any of you just fall into it?

We really never lose the ones we love...
They live forever within our hearts.

They say a man isn't dead unless he is forgotten, my brother will never be
forgotten

When a baby is born the angels weep and humans rejoice. When a loved one
dies, humans weep, but the angels rejoice."

I think most would agree that apprenticeship is a really great and preferred
way to learn dogs. Hands on, in real life settings. And read, read, read.
Even things you're pretty sure you'll disagree with. All is food for thought.

Volunteer at your local shelter to help the animals there. Not only is it
rewarding, but you are able to network with a lot of folks in the animal
care community from trainers to vets. One of the Board Members of our
Humane Society was in retail sales and hating it. She began to volunteer
with our shelter, became knowledgable about animals and animal care, was
hired as a vet tech at a local vet's, and then went back to school for a
career path as a vet. Another volunteer began helping to bathe the animals
and clean ears. She was hired at a local groomer's soon after and now has
her own portable grooming van business. Another volunteered to assist a
trainer who was coming in daily to work with some of our problem dogs
individually. Not only did that trainer pick up a lot of business from that
strategy, but the volunteer is now her paid assistant. And the animals are
all better off than they would have otherwise been.

You reap lots of rewards from volunteer work.
