Description

Hello! My name is Annika Shea Brunet. I was born in Austin, Texas but, have lived abroad in Germany since I was nine years old. I grew up with dogs, a cat, turtle, fish, and a bearded dragon, which has helped develop my love towards animals. In 2015, my family and I visited Sri Lanka, a beautiful country, but the state of most wild dogs left me heartbroken; I wanted to help! Ever since this experience, I have been interested in animal care and welfare-related career, hoping to be as directly involved as I can. I recently completed a Bachelors Degree in Zoology at the University of Aberdeen. My next plan is to become an Animal Physiotherapist. I hope to one day open my own rescue or sanctuary to help protect and treat abused, endangered and mistreated animals. With Workaway I hope to learn about the operations of a shelter, caring for animals, different cultures, have more travel opportunities, and to meet new people! I am enthusiastic and am excited to help in whichever way I can! :)
