SAE SAE decision

This is my first year doing an SAE and I have no idea what to do. I don't have space to take care of any more animals besides my dog and gecko. I've tried to go to places and shadow, volunteer, or apply but they all won't accept me because I'm "too young". Starting a business and selling a product or service is for next semester as I will only be able to get it up and running by then. I'm not really passionate about plants and I want to go for something animal focused. Any ideas help!!!

There’s lots of experiences with dogs.

Boarding / kennels
Obedience Training
Agility Training
Medical assistance training
Law enforcement assistance / military support
Grooming
Veterinary Care
Herding Dogs

Talk to your ag instructor about any suggestions.

BTW, if you’re also in 4-H, they have dog obedience programs, which would give you some experience.

Don’t stress it since it’s your first year when your older it’s much easier to find a paid placement sae
