i am not a vet, nor do i own a pet...but i want to get involved with animals...where should i start?

Answer 1

Volunteering at an animal hospital is a great and noble way to help the community and be able to socialize with animals.

However, if you're looking for a career in the veterinary medicine field, you can also seek work at an animal hospital. People with no formal education or training typically start out as a kennel attendant or receptionist, and work their way up.

Answer 2

Volunteering at an animal shelter is a great way to go. If you are interested in a specific animal or breed, find a local rescue and volunteer with them.

Answer 3

I think you should definitely volunteer at a local shelter, and maybe get a small pet, then gradually move up to other bigger animals, such as dogs. Good Luck!!

Answer 4

Volunteering at your local animal shelter is a good way to get hands on experience with animals.

Answer 5

You could donate to local shelters, become a participant at a local shelter, or become a zoo keeper assistant. Hope this helped. I love working with animals too. They always put a smile on my face!! =)

Answer 6

Answer 7

Every city pound is always in need of volunteers, mostly Cats and Dogs. Check with your Humane Society

Answer 8

Depends. what do you want? Do you want to work with animals or be a pet owner? I think you should get an american eskimo. That's a really neat dog.

Answer 9

try volunteering at a shelter and see if you even like being around animals and then mabey try an easy pet like a fish or hampster or even a cat and see what you think!

Answer 10

Try shelters or the SPCA, pet shops are also a good way.
