Volunteering with dogs (or cats)?
Hi,
I had been planning to volunteer at my local humane society when I turned 14 (on the 20th 
) but when I went there to ask about the volunteer program and to tell them that I was planning to volunteer, they said that they were filled with volunteers and that they wouldn’t be open to volunteers until March or April!
So then I tried the shelter next door but they don’t allow any volunteers under the age of 18.
I tried looking around for places for me to volunteer at, but it seems like everywhere requires that you be 18 or older.
Do you know of anything that I could do that involves volunteering with animals?
Thank you,
~Emily
Oh, and before anyone suggests fostering, I live in military housing which imposes a limit on how many animals you are allowed to have living in the house. They say no more than two larger household pets (like dogs over 25 lbs.) and no more than three smaller household pets (cats and dogs under 25 lbs.) . Three animls is the maximum.
I have two dogs (50 lbs each) and one cat. So I am unable to foster dogs (or cats).
