The Animal Adoption Internship program is designed to offer our interns the opportunity to gain valuable knowledge, basic skills, and hands-on experience adopting out cats and dogs in a fast-paced shelter environment. This is particularly useful for students looking to pursue a career in the animal rescue or shelter field

Berkeley Humane Veterinary Hospital Volunteer Internships offer the opportunity to gain hands-on experience in our shelter hospital, which, due to our shelter construction project, is now located inside the PetSmart store in Pinole, CA – about 15 minutes north of Berkeley. Interns will gain valuable experience in shelter care, basic medical procedures, animal husbandry/housing

Berkeley Humane Foster Program Internships offer the opportunity to partner with the Foster Program Coordinator to coordinate, innovate, and advance a robust Foster/Foster-to-Family program. Interns will gain valuable experience in managing all aspects of a home-based sheltering and adoption program. All internships are unpaid, but course credit can be arranged.
