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....

Can you volunteer at an animal shelter if you are 13 years old?
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. :)
How do you get to be volunteer at an animal shelter if you are 8?
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.

How much of our tax dollars go to animal shelters?
In the United States, little to no federal tax dollars support local animal shelters; the same is true for state taxes. For the most part, local tax dollars only support a dog shelter for public health reasons (ie, to control and prevent the spread of rabies). These shelters are often paid for with money from dog licenses and breeder's licenses as well as donations from the public and proceeds from adopting a dog from the shelter.
When would you need to quarantine an animal?
When The Animal Is Going To Be About To Die, Or When It Is Going To Be Eaton By Another Animal.Generally, an animal is quarantined if it bites a person or other animal & breaks the skin (makes it bleed). The local humane society can either put the animal in quarantine at the shelter itself or on an in-home quarantine.This is only done to verify that the biter does not have rabies or another infectious disease.The only other times an animal is put in quarantine is if you are traveling to another country, if the animal is vicious to people, or if the animal may have a disease that other animals/people can contract.

Where can I find an animal shelter that has centaurs?
Since centaurs only exist in mythology you won't find them at an animal shelter anywhere.
What can you do to help the poor animals that are being abused?
You can donate time, money or supplies to your local shelter or rescue organization. I suggest keeping your money local, as several of the large animal groups (HSUS, PETA, etc.) actually give only a small percentage of their revenues to help fund local animal shelters.

What animal shelters can 12 year olds volunteer at?
'''Rags Rabbit and Guinea Pig centre need lots of help with their small wildlife, as well as rabbits and guinea pigs. The centre is placed in Keresley, in Coventry. You would have to log onto their site and give them a call to tell them you will be over. You can stay as long as you want to: you get to do whatever you want, like sit down for hours on end and stroke them or clean out hutches and runs, sort food and water, be more helpful in many other ways and you get to meet new people there too. I know all this because I am a volunteer worker, I am 12 and I love it there! It's a great chance to meet some amazing animals and give them confidence before they get new homes with great (hopefully) owners in the future!'''

What happens when animal shelters become full?
It depends on the animal shelter, how they handle it when they get full. Some shelters euthanize or put to sleep more animals, even the adoptable animals. Other animal shelters only euthanize the unadoptable, untreatable animals, and they try to find additional foster homes for their current animals, and if necessary, stop admitting additional animals temporarily. If you ever turn over an animal to an animal shelter, be sure to ask what that shelter's policy is if they get too full or can not find a home for or locate the owner of an animal within a certain time. You may want to consider only turning in an animal to an animal shelter who won't euthanize them too hastily or unnecesssarily.
