Internship Details
Animal Care internships in Crete provide students and young professionals with a rewarding opportunity to enhance practical skills, related to a wide range of hands-on requirements, treatments and care techniques, for the care of animals. If you’re passionate about supporting the health and wellbeing of domesticated pets, this is a great opportunity to develop your skills supporting animal shelters, vets, or care staff.
Animal Care interns play a vital role in assisting to enhance the lives of domestic animals across various shelters in Crete. Hands-on responsibilities may include ensuring animals’ hygiene, grooming, exercise, and rehabilitation, while also assisting local professionals with medical care requirements. Beyond practical duties, interns offer much-needed companionship to shelter animals, helping to uplift their spirits and improve their quality of life.
Greek or other foreign languages are not a requirement to join. However, interns should expect that a language barrier can still be encountered to a certain extent. Come prepared and willing to surmount a language barrier (and ask for help when needed), as opposed to being intimidated by it.

Interns are encouraged to ask questions and provide feedback, so that your supervisor(s) understands how you’re progressing and can assist to develop your internship accordingly.
