Answer
Hi Jessica,

Good for you!! I truly admire anyone who wants to dedicate their lives to helping animals. Especially a person who wants to fight cruelty. I would suggest contacting your local SPCA or you could write to the ASPCA and ask them about where you could apply to school. If you do not  already volunteer at your local shelter I would suggest calling them and asking for a volunteer application. Volunteering will give you great experience working with animals and you will meet people that will be able to help you with your goals. Also ask if you can speak with a cruelty officer – they might be able to give you some great advise. I have included a link to the ASPCA below.

For the animals,

Robin
