I volunteered in Costa Rica for 2 months working in turtle conservation. Whilst doing this there were a multitude of 'station dogs' which us volunteers would care for alongside the turtles. I developed great relationships with these dogs who I would walk or run on the beach with every morning. I was a dog walker for an elderly member of my community for 2 years, I would take long walks their playful young dog to get him the exercise he needed. My family have always had cats and rabbits who I have helped out with by feeding, taking on vet trips, cleaning litter trays. I have also been a volunteer for the RSPCA for over a year, working to improve animal welfare.
