9b. Why?

I love the work, agree with the morals and see the good that comes from the work we do. It's stressful, but fulfilling.

Be an independent thinker, don't be afraid to ask questions or to ask for help and be able to use your initiative. Be prepared to see some things that can be traumatising but remember that you're doing the best for these abused animals that come into our care.
