Refer a Friend: What is This and Why We Think it’s Awesome

By: The Animal Behavior College Staff

It’s all about sharing!

We know that animal lovers like you are all about helping pets. We also understand you want to assist pet lovers. The desire to help and make a difference is a hallmark of what is known as giving professions. Examples of giving professions include medical professionals; (human and animal), teachers, social workers, animal trainers, groomers, and more.

This is in no way to suggest that there aren’t many people from all walks of life that love helping others. It does mean that high percentages of people who devote their time to assisting pets and people live better lives are inclined to share what they know and aid others in getting involved.

The motivation to help and give back can sometimes create challenges. It’s one reason why some folks are uncomfortable with the idea of charging people for assistance.

The desire to give back is why so many people in animal-related professions, dog trainers, veterinary assistants, pet groomers, feline behavior experts, aquatic experts, and zoo/exotic animal team members volunteer to assist shelters, rescues, veterinary vaccination clinics, and more.

Giving back is what makes Students Saving Lives so successful. Did you know that since 2004, ABC students have donated over 185,000 hours to shelters and rescues across North America?For many of you reading this article, ABC provided a stepping stone for your entry into the pet industry. For some, ABC gave you the knowledge to take your careers to the next level. We hope you all live your dream of working with and helping animals. Why not guide and encourage others to take a similar journey?
