Cambridge, Canada Pioneer Pet Hospital Full time

This is a VOLUNTEER experience position on our miniature donkey farm, located 20 minutes outside of Guelph (near Cambridge). This summer position is a chance to learn handling and care techniques for the equine species, using miniature donkeys. These docile creatures are wonderful to learn all the handling techniques used on horses but on a smaller, less intimidating animal. You will learn:

- how to properly handle and care for donkeys
- how to put on a halter and lead
- how to clean out hooves and groom
- barn maintenance, cleaning stalls, filling water buckets
- learn about the donkey's behavior and about herd health

You will also learn the basics of farm maintenance and safety.

NOTE: If you already have a lot of horse experience then we also have a retired horse that can be groomed and given attention as well.

This is a volunteer position. You will be required to attend an orientation and training session prior to starting. The position will start May 1st and continue through until August 30th. We require a commitment of 1-2 shifts a week from our volunteers, the shifts are about 2 hours long and can be anytime between 8am and 8pm. You must provide your own transportation to get to the farm (or pair up with another volunteer that has a car).
