Thanks everyone, I will let you pick the best answer... I did look it up on petfinder and google and I have some idea of what I could do. thanks again!!! (I might get involved in the zoo in the summer too)

Answer 1

Well, i did some looking online, and i became a volunteer for a local cat shelter. There is no specific age, since you're not getting paid. As long as you know what you're doing, then you will be able to volunteer anywhere.

Answer 2

Our vet take kids at 14 but no younger. And some of the vets my son looked at would take him until 16 (he wants to be a vet). Do you live in a city with a zoo? My mom and brother both work at zoos and both have summer programs for kids your age. My brother's zoo is very expensive but my mom's is free. Good luck. I know it is frusterating. We had the same problem!

Answer 3

Sorry but I think you have to be at least 16 to volunteer. Try looking up your local SPCA. They always need help. If you can't you can always dogsit for neighbors. I do that along with my current job at a animal clinic. Most people prefer not taking them to a boarding facility. Good Luck!

Answer 4

I was going to volenteer at a place called Far Point Animal Rescue. Its in the USA, in Pennslyvania. Im not sure where u live, but here is a place that they will let you volenteer at.

Answer 5

You can look at www.petfinder.com to see what shelters are near you. At 11, you'll probably have to have a parent volunteer with you.

Answer 6

you can find anything online just google search for volunteer help
