Do you share in our love for the well being of animals? Are you considering a career in animal welfare, veterinary services, or the behavioral sciences? If so, consider an internship at Kindness Ranch.

Partnering with Truman State University in Kirksville, Missouri, we offer internships for college credit for interested students. Feel free to chat with your adviser and to contact us if you attend a different school.

The internship is overseen by Co-Directors Dr. Karen Straight and Matt Farwell. Karen is a sociologist with several years teaching experience at a variety of colleges and universities.

Interns will:
• work hands-on in the rehabilitation efforts at the ranch. Students will be partnered with animals for the duration of their stay to provide socialization
• analyze and record the animals’ progress towards health
• feature their work with the animals the Kindness Ranch web page, helping others to understand the important work that is being done at the ranch
• explore the study of animals in society through active discussion and readings
