DOWNLOAD EBOOKWhether young people like cats or canaries, pugs or pigs, horses or seahorses, they can look for an internship or volunteer position where they can be around those animals. Teens discover internship opportunities that are win-win propositions and can be gateways to jobs and careers. Many schools have begun to incorporate community service projects into their curriculum, requiring students to participate in a specified number of service hours. Readers explore the ways to find and land opportunities, whether using local organizations and businesses, websites, school counselors, groups and clubs, or approaching colleges that offer internships for animal lovers. Readers gain practical information about working with typical animals as well as exotic creatures, wild animals, birds, and sea animals, such as those found in zoos, aquariums, nature centers, and wildlife sanctuaries and preserves. Other opportunities described include those in animal-assisted therapy, hospitals, clinics, shelters, kennels and catteries, doggie daycares, ranches, stables, camps, and pet grooming businesses.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKA moving and scientific look at the curative powers--both physical and mental--of rescuing a shelter animal, by the president of Humane Society Silicon Valley. MUTUAL RESCUE profiles the transformational impact that shelter pets have on humans, exploring the emotional, physical, and spiritual gifts that rescued animals provide. It explores through anecdote, observation, and scientific research, the complexity and depth of the role that pets play in our lives. Every story in the book brings an unrecognized benefit of adopting homeless animals to the forefront of the rescue conversation. In a nation plagued by illnesses--16 million adults suffer from depression, 29 million have diabetes, 8 million in any given year have PTSD, and nearly 40% are obese--rescue pets can help: 60% of doctors said they prescribe pet adoption and a staggering 97% believe that pet ownership provides health benefits. For people in chronic emotional, physical, or spiritual pain, adopting an animal can transform, and even save, their lives. Each story in the book takes a deep dive into one potent aspect of animal adoption, told through the lens of people's personal experiences with their rescued pets and the science that backs up the results. This book will resonate with readers hungering for stories of healing and redemption.
