Some moments are years in the making. For her entire life, this sweet girl experienced the world with the support of oxygen. Every milestone was hard-earned, and every step forward was worth celebrating.

Now that she is finally weaned off oxygen, she was able to join her friends on a field trip to swim with dolphins. This is a moment her family once could only dream about.

At PATCHES, we have the privilege of celebrating these victories alongside our children and families. Sometimes the most beautiful moments are the ones that once felt impossible. 💜🐬 Thank you Island Dolphin Care and OceanReefCommunityFoundation for helping make days like this possible.

Island Dolphin Care is now accepting applications for Fall 2026 animal care interns.

Located in Key Largo, Florida, IDC is a nonprofit organization providing dolphin-assisted therapy to children, adults with special needs, and military families.

As an intern, you’ll work alongside trainers and therapy facilitators gaining hands-on experience in daily animal care, diet preparation, and husbandry.

You’ll also assist with training sessions, help maintain behaviors, and learn what it takes to work in the marine mammal field.

This is a 16-week, full-time commitment designed to prepare you for an entry-level role in animal care or zoological training.

We’re looking for individuals who are motivated, disciplined, and ready to learn.
