You can volunteer at a pet shelter at the age of 12 or 13. But at that age the only things you can do are: feeding, watering, combing and brushing. If not, they may not let children volunteer at Shelters because the fear of animals being aggressive and having the children be hurt by the animals. Just look into it and see. :)
i think they just wonder what they want kids to when they want to vollenteer for the animal shelter and i want to do it im turning 12 this April there is your answer well bye by Melissa kade birks
At certain shelters yes you can, I am glad you are looking into it! Volunteering at an animal shelter is the best volunteer work anyone can do!
Yes, just call the shelter and see if they have a volunteer program and see how old you have to be. I have seen quite a few animal shelter accept 11 year olds.
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 south Tampa 16 to voluteer or work there.
It all depends how old you are. Unfortunatly if you are under 16 you cant do proper volunteering but you can donate or do something with your school. If you are 16 or older you could help at a local animal shelter or do a sponsored run.
Well, they should let you at 13, so 14 is perfect. But look online in your area, and find different animal shelters that will let you volunteer at that age. They really shoould But you have to be at least sixteen to actually work there. actually your actually old enough.....did you try SPCA??? they usually start @ age 14....
You have to be about 16 years old
you have to be 16
If you are under 18 years old then you need a parent/guardian.
Yes, because you have to be at least 12 years old to work alone at an animal shelter.
they cant
See if there is a veterinarian, animal shelter or hospital near you that allows volunteers
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.
Usually to volunteer in an 'interactive' environment, you need to be sixteen years of age. You can check with your local employment office to get the particulars for your state.
You would have to check with your local animal shelters to see the age at which you can volunteer. It's good to volunteer in your community, so ask!
Yes, just call the shelter and see if they have a volunteer program and see how old you have to be. I have seen quite a few animal shelter accept 11 year olds.
Volunteer, maybe, with parental supervision. But get paid that would be a no.
I think when it comes to being a volunteer at 11 yrs old, I'd try Best Friends Shelter.
