Answer #1

Call your local Humane Society - they should be able to provide you with information in your area…Good luck !!

Answer #2

I have a student that wants to get into the field. One of the thing I told her is to see if she can volunteer at a vet. shop. It’s a nice way to get your foot in the door and if you’ve not already, learn to deal with the public as an animal caretaker.
