      Veterinarian if you want to help sick animals and vaccinate them to prevent infections.
      Ecologists study animals in their ecosystems.
      Animal behaviour scientists do what it sounds like studying animal behaviour.
      Animal welfare scientists try to make sure that things like farming and medical research cause as little suffering to animals as possible. They are developing toys that make animals lives more entertaining even if they are on a farm.
      There are so many options!

      Christl has given loads of good answers! There are definitely loads of options for you. The only other thing I can add is that if you know you want to work with animals you could also think about doing a zoology degree.
