If you love animals and are up to the challenge of protecting them, join our internships in animal welfare. IGS students have worked in shelters and dog daycares in Hawaii, Boston, Auckland, Sydney, and other locations worldwide. Shelter work focuses primarily on cats and dogs no longer cared for, have been abandoned, or were born feral. Shelters protect both animals and society from unsafe relationships and interactions. They provide immunizations and create a safe space for the animals to integrate into human society if possible. Our students help the staff check in new animals. They accompany the staff during board meetings. They carry out daily rounds to check in on animal welfare and health. When medical care is needed, they accompany the dogs or cats to the veterinarian.

Volunteers will help with long term goals to ensure the area will remain protected.
