Dakin Pioneer Valley Humane Society; West Springfield, MA

Responsibilities;


  • Adoptions

  • Surrenders

  • Assist vet staff

  • Observe surgeries

As time went on I received more individualized responsibilities.


This is an excellent placement and I strongly urge others to take part in this experience if possible. This is a wonderful shelter where education, animal interaction, hands-on experience and much more are valued. If I could change anything about this placement I would make a paid position available.


My advice for other students is to work hard and put yourself out there. Ask questions and volunteer to do things.
