This placement would suit... anyone with a love of creatures. Located in the US's Sunshine State, this sanctuary houses animals that are both native and exotic, all of which have been rescued, orphaned or injured.

If you have a certain skill such as mechanics, landscaping, carpentry or maintenance you will have the opportunity to work using these skills during your time at the sanctuary. Occasionally you may have the chance to assist with tour groups to help educate the public about why wild animals are not good pets, animal endangerment and extinction. Volunteer Role The Wildlife Sanctuary is dependent on volunteers to support the centre and help care for the orphaned, injured and rescued animals. Resident animals range from big cats, such as cougars, leopards and tigers to wolves, primates, bears and native American animals.
