“I volunteer at a rescue centre. It’s

very emotional. The best memory I

have was when I was working. A black

antisocial old cat named Ebony who

had been in care for a year and a half

came over to me and started purring.

Everyone in the room stopped and

looked at me. One of them said ‘Ebony

HATES people! I worked here before

she came here and she has NEVER

purred before!’ I almost cried. Then

four weeks later, I was told that Ebony

got adopted.” - Brodie Moore

“I do pet sitting and look after small

animals such as guinea pigs and rabbits

.

They are often forgotten by big kennels

and holiday places so I off er to have them

at my place and give them the very best of

care. I hope I can do this on a bigger scale

one day and own my own rescue centre

and boarding facility for small animals.”

• Jazzy Maddie

“My job as a vet nurse is the

best job ever. I made a career

change after being in science

for 10 years and I completed

a PhD and have never looked

back. Animals are the best to

work with. It’s not always puppy

and kitten cuddles but it’s very

rewarding.” - Ally Croxford

“Anything at all to do with

animals. They are non-

judgemental and I would rather

spend time with an animal.”

• Mc Bridgette

“So inspirational watching the guide

dogs in training around Richmond,

NSW. The trainers put them through

their paces. From training up and

down stairs to working the foot paths

and working around the Richmond

Park, I totally love watching them.”

• Sharon Jacobs

“A stay-at-home dog mum! I also

make dog accessories — would be

good to be able to make an income

out of that.” - Courtney Bryans

“I would love to do Bowen therapy for

horses and dogs. To see the immediate

relief and how much it benefi

animal is very rewarding. And to achieve ts the

this with such a calm and natural practice

is amazing.” - Ashtenne Langridge
