From Our P.O.V. This website journal was created
by two interns about their
experience at Best Friends.
Being a Best Friends Intern
"Everyday was a learning experience, everyday was special and important, I have never felt so confident and self-assured in my ability to work/care for animals." - Melissa
"Since coming to Best Friends I think I have been able to confirm a lot of the feelings about animal welfare that motivated me to do this internship. When we went out on the mobile adoption this week I realized how rewarding it is to help a dog that needs a home get adopted." - Emily
"This experience will be with me for the rest of my life; I am sure it has augmented my personality-improved me." - Laurel
"I think being here has confirmed for me that veterinary medicine is not my path, but I will be able to use what I've learned here to stay involved with animals no matter where my path leads me." - Amy
"I have furthered my desire to help animals live a better life for six weeks I was able to actually do just that. This internship has giving me the gifts of patience, strength, compassion and desire to fulfill my dreams. Best Friends Animal Sanctuary is a representative of all that is lacking outside of those 3,300 acres. It gives us a better view of how life should be for all and what it will hopefully one day be. Thank you for allowing an intern program such as this to exist for it touches hearts and fills minds with ideas to take home and use in everyday lives." - Sara
