How to volunteer at animal shelters at age 13?

Question

i would like to volunteer at an animal shelter in Arlington or Mansfield Texas. Please help me!!!

Answer 1

not sure about where you live but the humane society here will not accept anyone under 14. best to try a non-profit privately run centre. look up no-kill shelters on your search engine for one nearby. most will just ask for signed parental consent and be more grateful for any help. so will the animals. my cat say's thanks for caring abt. his buddies and sends you a nose l**k and a purr! here's a star.

Answer 2

13 would probably be a bit young, but go there and ask them about volunteering, they might let you.

Answer 3

Just go down there and tell you'd like to help and be a volunteer.  

Answer 4

When i volunteered at one in high school I had to apply (like a job) and do an interview. If you were accepted you had a preliminary meeting, so they tell you the duties and such, and then you start.

They dont let just anyone work with the animals, they want reliable people who will always show up and know how to care for animals.

But hey, everyone wants free labour! just apply!

Answer 5

unfortunately u most likely have to wait till u are older. most shelters wont let you voulenteer untill you are 18 but there is other things you can do. if you want to make people aware then put upfliers or something. im 16 and i cantvoulenteer because most shelters have the "bite polict" as i call it.

Answer 6

call them and ask how u can help. u cold probably walk/ feed the dogs or something
