If you are going to be an animal shelter worker, you will need to learn how to be comfortable with all animals. This means ferrets and rodents too! It's amazing the types of animals people will keep as pets.
You will learn how to handle a wide range of breeds, from a Great Pyrenees dog to a small rabbit. The interviewer wants to know that you are comfortable dealing with all animals. If you have any discomfort about handling a specific animal, let's say a Pittbull, let them know you are willing to learn more about that breed. The more you know, the more confident you will be in handling any animal.

"When I was a child, I was bitten on the face by a Doberman pinscher. I will be able to work with them; however, it may take me a little longer than normal to warm up to that breed."
