What does the Veterinary & Animal Welfare placement involve?
Work alongside an experienced qualified veterinarian and local rescue shelter in Arusha. Days may include 4x4 veterinary outreach, animal rescues, vaccinations, treating sick or injured animals, community education and shelter-based rehabilitation. Every day is different, with hands-on involvement appropriate to your skills and professional supervision.
Do I need veterinary or animal-care experience?
No! You don’t need to be a veterinary student to join. Participants can contribute through animal care, rehabilitation, enrichment, rescue and community outreach while learning from the veterinary team. Clinical involvement depends on your skills and experience, and veterinary procedures are always undertaken appropriately under professional supervision.
