Do you love animals and do you want to get involved for a good cause? In Ireland, you can volunteer to help neglected dogs, cats, horses, ponies, and donkeys at animal shelters. Ireland is a pet-loving nation, with more than two-thirds of Irish households either keeping a dog or a cat. Unfortunately, the country is facing a major street dog problem. Even though the Irish government is committed to responsible pet care and the number of stray dogs has been reduced by 50% since 2004, thousands of homeless dogs still end up in animal shelters every year. Therefore, we work with several dog shelters that take care of abandoned, abused, or neglected dogs, nursing and trying to find a new home for them. We also partner with some shelters that take in other animals like cats. Did you know that the Green Island is world-famous for horse-keeping? Horse riding is a popular hobby in Ireland. There are also animal shelters that specialize in horses, donkeys, and ponies. This is where animals, confiscated by the authorities as a result of neglect or abuse, are kept. You can let us know what type of shelter you would like to work in!

Being the third-largest island in Europe, with its lush vegetation and coastal mountains, Ireland offers a great deal in the area of biology. There are opportunities to do research in universities, with NGOs, and various laboratories in Dublin. Research opportunities are open in the fields of ecology, wildlife conservation, or environmental science. With the assistance of a professional and friendly team, personalize an international internship based on your needs. And with placements at leading locations for every industry, ensure a role that meets your career goals. This program is also open to volunteers.
