Animal Defense League of Texas
What is the Animal Defense League of Texas?
The Animal Defense League of Texas takes in rescued cats and dogs, provides medical treatment, nutrition, and shelter in a safe, live release facility until they are matched with their forever families. Through community education and empowerment, we advocate for truly responsible pet ownership
My Experience
At the H-E-B internship kickoff, on the second day, we were invited to volunteer at the Animal Defense League in San Antonio, Texas. We did activities such as staining and painting outdoor structures (gazebos, benches, fences, etc.), walking dogs, cleaning cages, and much more. This was such a great opportunity. Before learning about this internship, I would have never imagined how involved H-E-B is in their Texas community. It's a good feeling to know I am working with a company that not only cares about the customers in their stores, but also cares all of Texas!
Moving Forward
This opportunity gave me a better sense of the kind of company H-E-B really is. Often times, you don't hear about grocery stores or big businesses giving back the way H-E-B does. Knowing this, I definitely would like to work for H-E-B in some way after graduation. I hope to eventually work with H-E-B's environmental sustainability team. This internship has given me the opportunity to experience these volunteer events, understand what kind of a company H-E-B really is, and learning processes within stores. This will give me a better understanding of how things run once I am hopefully working in H-E-B corporate.
