What education or work experience is required to work as the director/manager of a dog shelter?

Question

Like the Humane Society, etc.

Answer 1

You'd have to talk to the people at the facility you were hoping to work at to find out specifics. But generally it's not something you're just going to hop into without having been in that field for many many years. Most of them start out as volunteers at the shelter, move into jobs there, or work as veterinarians, animal health technicians, or other animal-related fields.

If this is something you want to pursue, you'll need to take some animal-related courses. Either in the AHT line or veterinary line. You could also take dog training courses, and learn how to train them, and then work up from there.

Hope that helped.

Doodledap here ashley. Your coment about my to do list, believe me these are all dreams which keep me going. I am totally ashamed of my request but also very desparate. It was your post that convinced me to delete. All prayers are still accepted though.
