Typically, animal shelters have age restrictions for volunteers due to safety concerns and the nature of the work involved. However, younger individuals can still contribute by participating in fundraising events, donation drives, or creating enrichment items for the animals from home. It's important to check with the specific shelter for any opportunities available for children, as some may offer special programs or events for younger volunteers.
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. :)

In Oregon, the minimum age requirement to volunteer at animal shelters varies depending on the organization's policies. Some shelters may allow 11-year-olds to volunteer with adult supervision, while others may have a minimum age requirement of 16 or 18. It is best to contact the specific animal shelter you are interested in volunteering at to inquire about their age requirements and opportunities for younger volunteers.
To volunteer at an animal shelter, you can typically start by contacting the shelter directly or checking their website for information on how to apply. They may have an application process, orientation, and training requirements before you can start volunteering. It's important to be reliable, compassionate, and willing to follow the shelter's guidelines for interacting with the animals.
An animal refuge or shelter manager is responsible for overseeing the day-to-day operations of the facility, including managing staff, coordinating adoptions, caring for animals, and ensuring the facility meets regulatory standards. They also work on fundraising, community outreach, and volunteer coordination to support the refuge or shelter's mission.
