Animal rescue centres are set up by individuals or charitable organisations. Working for an animal charity is very different to the work of a private boarding or breeding organisation and no two animal rescue centres are run in the same way so it is difficult to clearly define the role of an Animal Care Manager in an animal rescue charity.

They vary in just about every way including location, size, layout, facilities, types of animals catered for, policies and ethos. However, one thing they all do is to take in, care for and re-home unwanted animals. If your looking for a rewarding career with dogs working for a dog rescue charity could be for you. The Animal Rehoming course is a relevant course to study if you are interested in this field.
