    We do! We partner with Rhodes College and the University of Memphis here locally and it is a huge help. Some tasks our interns do include:

    • Scheduling and managing foster field trips
    • Communication with fosters for updates (sending check-in emails)
    • Social media content creation (specifically TikTok)
    • On-site pet marketing assistance (help with photos and videos)
    • Stray pet intake Next Door posts
    • Miscellaneous data entry projects
