Do I need previous veterinary work experience to do this internship?

No, you don’t need to have worked in a veterinary practice, but you do need a background/experience in areas related, such as biology or animal behavior (this can be discussed during the application process).

Do I need to be able to speak English for this internship?

Yes, you need a very good level of English for this placement as everybody at the sanctuary speaks English. Spanish or Portuguese are not necessary, but could be a nice bonus.

Will there be other interns there?

At any one time, there may be up to seven interns, but not all internships are the same e.g. they are specially designed for particular subjects/fields.

Join a team of passionate vets and veterinary nurses to support neglected, abandoned, or vulnerable animals. As a veterinary intern, you’ll spend your time caring for the animals at the sanctuary, enabling them to have happy, healthy lives. With over 100 animals across ten different species, your work will be varied, interesting, and dynamic. You’ll have a range of tasks to do, from diagnosing unwell animals, giving physical exams, administering injections, treating wounds, as well as offering guidance and advice for possible treatments. If an animal needs surgeries or has more complex problems, you may accompany and monitor it at the central clinic in Lisbon.
