My Nonprofit Reviews

The International Exotic Animal Sanctuary far exceeded my expectations!! While in college to obtain my Bachelor of Science in Zoology, I began to research Sanctuary Internships where I could gain experience working with large exotic animals. And IEAS stood out to me amongst the rest... Not only do interns get to learn about animal husbandry for exotic cats and bears, they get to take away from this how a sanctuary is run in many other aspects. Grounds maintenance, plumbing, fire arms handling courses, cementing/mortaring, grants/proposal classes, And much more... I would not have traded the experience I got here with any other. After 6 months of interning I was offered a position as keeper. This is the best job I could have ever dreamed of. The staff is extremely friendly and the animals are amazing. Each animal has its own personality or special quirks. Its a great feeling to be able to form a bond with many of these animals through our emotional enrichment program and by just working around them everyday. I cant wait to continue on learning all that I can while I am here!!!
