Some of the basics we cover with our interns is; Dog Kennel Cleaning, Cat Kennel Cleaning; Sanitation; Pet Overpopulation; Disease Prevention; Basic Animal Medical (Vaccination, heartworm testing, microchipping, deworming, etc.); and lastly they get to work hands on enriching the lives of shelter pets and learn why the Hill Country SPCA exists and what our role in the community is. They also participate in our Youth Education programming over the summer, teaching our Critter Campers all about responsible pet ownership and so much more.
Our interns are also invited to attend local offsite adoption events, Parades, as well as continuing their volunteer work even after completing their internship!

At the end of the 2020 Summer our Interns will be recognized with a letter of recommendation from our Executive Director outlining both their performance here with the Hill Country SPCA, as well as knowledge and leadership skills gained. We will also provide Interns with a program evaluation and hours logged, so that they may use hours towards extra curricular activities if needed.
