Currently, in my 2nd semester, I have worked in commissary where I prepared specialized diets for all the animals in our collection and cared for the animals within this area. Husbandry includes feeding, cleaning, medicating, and writing records. Other responsibilities within the program include guest experience, keeper talks, facilitating tours, and physical labor.

Answered phone calls, worked cash register, made reservations, gave tours of the facility,
prepared animal diets, bathed dogs, administered medications, cleaned the facility frequently and provided husbandry to dogs, cats, and exotic pets.

Managed a large group of dogs at one time, facilitated basic training and desensitization
practices with dogs, fed dogs and cleaned up after the dogs frequently.
