Farm Animal Rescue Intern

Farm Animal Rescue's mission focuses strictly on providing sanctuary and compassionate care for animals rescued from the commercial food industry. During my time with FAR, I engaged in a variety of essential tasks that supported both the well-being of the animal residents and the smooth operation of the sanctuary. Some of said tasks included administering both oral and topical medication, assisting licensed veterinarians, sanitizing living spaces, and feeding a diverse range of animals such as cattle, sheep, chickens, goats, ducks, and pigs. Additionally, I was involved in the capturing, observing, and releasing of wild boar, stocking and physical transportation of necessary food items, and chopping of firewood for my communal bungalow. Each day presented unique challenges that required me to apply my basic veterinary and service skills and knowledge effectively, whether in caring for animals with chronic conditions or maintaining the sanctuary's facilities.
