TAILS OF THE INSANE ASYLUM: LILO EDITION

Meet Lilo. Lilo is 7 years old and has spent ยพ of that in a shelter. Is Lilo a dog you can take home and immediately be best friends with? Probably not. When he came to us we were told he had severe stranger danger, did not like to be told what to do and acts a mess when he doesnโ€™t feel good. So what did we do? We observed. We watched Lilo and we worked with him to find what he listened to best. Now? Lilo just wants a couch to lay on with his trusted human. He still has some stranger danger, but give him some time and grace he did spend almost all of his life behind bars. He will listen to his person, but his person needs to also listen to him. He is a very smart boy with great basic obedience and dog manners. Does that mean he can go to a dog bar or a brewery? No. Like we said before, listen to his needs and you will have a great boy, but still not a boy to take out and show off. If he ever shows signs of regression, TAKE HIM TO THE VET. Lilo gets an attitude when he doesnโ€™t feel good, but so do we. He is overall a neutral chill lazy boy just looking for a couch and a person to call his own. He wants to please, he is so receptive to his person. The Humane society of Catawba is the only place to give him even the smallest of chances by trusting him with us. Now, let him show you the side of him he learned here and give him the chance he deserves. The HOME he deserves. Contact The Humane Society of Catawba if you think you can be the person and home he so desperately wants and deserves.

โ„๏ธ WEโ€™RE TAKING WINTER INTERNS! ๐Ÿ•โ€๐Ÿฆบ๐Ÿพ

We have THREE winter internship spots available, each focused on a different area of professional dog training:

๐Ÿ•โ€๐Ÿฆบ Service Dog Training
๐Ÿ• Behavior Modification
๐Ÿ”Ž Working Dog Training

Interns will get hands-on experience working alongside our trainers and learning what actually goes into training dogs professionallyโ€”from foundational skills and handling to more specialized training depending on your internship track.

๐Ÿ“… Weekdays
โฐ 4โ€“6 hours per day
๐ŸŽ“ Three internship positions available

These are primarily unpaid educational internships. However, interns who would like to take on additional cleaning, kennel chores, or other facility work may have the opportunity to be paid for those separate working hours.

This is a great opportunity for someone considering dog training as a career, currently enrolled in an animal-related program, looking to expand their hands-on experience, or just wanting to learn what professional dog training actually looks like behind the scenes.

You will be expected to show up, participate, learn, ask questions, and get your hands dirty. This isn't an internship where you stand in the corner and watch somebody else train dogs all day.

Interested in spending your winter learning with us? Send us a message with a little about yourself, your experience with dogs, and which internship track interests you most! โ„๏ธ๐Ÿพ
