Hi tibbles,
Welcome to the Forums.
Has she written or communicated with any of the places she wants to work at? Get first hand knowledge of their requirements? That's where I would start, as you can only learn so much off the Internet until you need hands on experience, such as being a Vet.
I worked for a Year at an animal shelter while in High School. Didn't pay much, but was a lot of fun. Especially giving dogs exercise. Meant taking them out of their cages and playing with them. And getting paid to do so. Dogs hate cages and being cut off from human contact. Many are just abandoned by their owners.. so sad for the dogs.
Hard not to become too attached to them, but that's true for any animals you may be working with. But it's a noble and usually satisfying endeavor.
Good luck,
Regards,
Dave :^)
