Yes they can, but not like the Humane Society. Find a different kind of animal shelter, and search online, for animal shelters. But, yes, an eleven year old can volunteer at an animal shelter. You will find one eventually. Maybe. Most places have specific rules about working with animals, often considered a hazardous job. While some may allow you to work cleaning empty cages and such, they may not allow you to have contact with the animals. You'll have to check the local laws and the rules for the places you hope to work.

In some of them, you can. But not like the Humane Society though. You have to be eighteen to volunteer there. But if you find just some plain old animal shelter, I am very sure you can volunteer there. Hope This Helps!!! :) Also if a animal shelter has a cat room kids can volunteer there if there is an adult supervisor but to volunteer with dogs you have to be 18. This is in most animal shelters

Yes, but look for a small animal shelter not the Humane Society because at the Humane Society's you have to be at least 17 or 18. But, if you find one that lets you volunteer at your age, map it and go to it. Please don't give up, my little sister tried to find one, and she looked and looked, then when she almost gave up, she found one. And now she is very happy. Please don't give up!

Talk to your mom and dad first, see how they feel about it. Then call the local shelter and talk to them or better go in person with mom and dad and talk to them that way.
