Hi My Name Is Emma,I love animals so much and I was wondering wether you have to be a certain age-im not sure on what the age is, and I would love to work with animals-I think I might be quite good at it.
HOW OLD DO YOU HAVE TO BE TO JOIN THE RSPCA ???
PLEASE ANSWER ME A.S.A.P !
i think its 16
Alas no - I've wanted to too, as I am also 13, but you have to be 16, I think, to volunteer for the cleaning of the kennels/Cattery and to have your feet featured on the website with a beautiful dog, and at least 18 to walk the dogs or help with the puppies and horses :(
Although if you can get a Contact in a particular Centre you may be able to do a bit - however it is probably illegal, so I wouldn't try it...
I donate money though.
Sorry, but no. However, you can work in a branch of RSPCA where occasionally with a parents help, you can come in for a few hours or so, and play with the animals! At least that's what they did for me when I was 12!
I don't think a 13-year-old is old enough! But if you go to your local R.S.P.C.A they might let you walk the dogs there. Good luck and keep helping the animals. They need our help!
Also if you do Duke of Edinburgh you can volunteer at the R.S.P.C.A when you are 13 or above but to otherwise volunteer you need to be over 16 (i think)! :)
I Love animaLs so much and me and my friend Laura want to work together at the RSPCA and we are so angry that there are peopLe out there that abuse animaLs and we wiLL do anything to hep..... EVEN CLEAN UP POO, how oLd do u have to be because I 13 in may and my friend Laura is 14 soon and we're reaLLy responsible and we want to heLp out so how oLd do you have to be ?
No, they can not.
Usually to volunteer at any animal shelter by yourself you must be 16 years of age. However some shelters will allow younger participants, as young as age 12, to volunteer as long as they have an adult 18 or older to volunteer along with them.
Unfortunately no. This is because there might be animals that haven't had a good life and might get anxious and try to defend itself by attacking.
I think you must be 18 to volunteer at the SPCA centre. You might want to check first.
yes 13 year olds can work at the spca
An eleven year old can not have a job. Child Labor Laws prevent it. They may be able to volunteer, check at your local RSPCA office.
there is not much volunteer work you can do when you are 15, it all starts when your are 16. Then you can help at the RSPCA!:)
I don't think so cause I think you have to be 14
I know for sure that if you volunteer to do beach clean-ups, it doesn't matter what age you are. I also suggest looking for opportunities at your city community center.
you have to be 18 to join but at age 14 up u can volunteer
Dogs Trust. My mother works there. They can come round to your school and teach you about dealing with dogs in different situations, such as if a dog barks at you. i have had a lot of experience with dogs, and my dog usually barks to protect me, and because she is a rescue dog, she has had bad experience with runnung children. So when they bark, I know that they will most probably not hurt me, i ignore them, but slow down if i am running.
For working I don't really know but you can volunteer at the art center if you call them.
Contact an animal shelter near you to ask about volunteer openings. The volunteer's age is important when considering the type of shelter to contact.
A 12 year old is not allowed to volunteer without their parents permission in Reno, Nevada. If they get their parents permission, they can volunteer almost anywhere.
can volunteer in science centre
for literature you could volunteer at the library to read to kids for fun, for animals you could volunteer at the local pound/animal rescue center but you could also/possibly volunteer at your local zoo, hoped i helped!
yes you can but it also depends on the day care center
