Hopalong is Looking for an Intern!

Howdy fosters and volunteers! We're offering our first ever (or maybe first recent) internship for the remainder of kitten season (summer to lay-people). It will be posted on our facebook page soon, but if you want to check it out and apply or know someone else who would be perfect for it, here's the nitty gritty:

Hopalong Animal Rescue is a nonprofit 501c3 animal rescue in Oakland, California.  We’re looking for an intern this summer (kitten season in the animal welfare world) to help out and learn the ways of the rescue world. This is the perfect opportunity for someone considering a career in animal welfare or veterinary fields: tasks will include all of the (glamorous) cleaning and vaccinating kinds of things you don’t hear about and some of the more exciting things like going to shelters and learning how to evaluate animals, making training videos for foster homes and more.

Experience not required- we’ll do the training. Valid drivers’ license and good driving history preferred.
15-20 hours a week at our office in Oakland. We are unable to offer payment but we write excellent references and can provide school credit.

Please send an email telling us why you’re interested in this internship, a resume and two references to lauren@hopalong.org by July 8th. We will be in touch with you no later than July 10th.
