Veterinary & Animal Care Immersion: Volunteer and Internship Program in Cordoba, Argentina

Gain hands-on experience in veterinary medicine and animal care while making a real impact on the lives of animals in need. Travel to Argentina and contribute to the well-being of domestic animals that have been neglected, abused, or abandoned. In this volunteer program, you’ll split your time between a local dog shelter and a veterinary clinic, giving you diverse exposure to animal care and rehabilitation.

At the shelter, you'll help care for dogs that have been mistreated or neglected, providing them with food, companionship, and attention. You’ll also assist in improving their living conditions, contributing to their recovery and preparing them for adoption. Your role will involve tasks such as cleaning, feeding, administering basic care, and finding foster homes for dogs and cats.

At the veterinary clinic, you’ll shadow a local vet and observe daily procedures, gaining valuable insight into veterinary practices. This is an excellent opportunity to build your skills in animal care while seeing how veterinary medicine is practiced in a different cultural setting. You will learn about diagnosing and treating common ailments in domestic animals, performing check-ups, and understanding post-treatment care.

This program is perfect for anyone looking to build a career in veterinary medicine or animal welfare, as it offers practical experience in both a clinical and shelter environment. You’ll not only enhance your CV but also contribute to solving the challenges of under-resourced animal care facilities in Argentina. Your support will be instrumental in helping these facilities provide better care for the animals they rescue.

Start dates for this project are flexible, and the minimum duration is just one week, making it accessible even for those with limited time. Whether you’re an aspiring veterinarian, an animal lover, or someone eager to make a difference, this program offers a fulfilling and transformative experience.
