Love animals and want to make a difference in the world? Why not consider an animal rights rescue summer program? Imagine collaborating with other like-minded people to advocate for the humane treatment of all animals.
These programs offer more than feel-good experiences. Their curricula explore critical issues surrounding animal welfare, educating you on the importance of ethical treatment for wild animals, animals used in various industries, and companion animals.
