Answer 1

Try your local animal shelter or humane society. They are always looking for good volunteers. You can even get scholarships for college by doing community service like this.
Hope it helps!

Answer 2

You know, you might want to look up dog trainers in your area and ask if you can volunteer and learn what they do. In my area, I offer junior dog training classes for free and lots of kids ages 5-18 do it! So you can look up that.

There are also probably many volunteer jobs at the humane society, although that might not be as fun as dog training/walking.

Look in your newspaper for clubs and things related to animals, that might lead you to cool jobs.

Good luck!

Answer 4

Try checking at your local humane society, they usually always need volunteers. Go to www.petfinder.com and search by state for animal rescues. You can then search by city and county for rescues in your area and contact them about volunteering. Try placing an ad in your local paper for dog walking, dog sitting or even dog bathing. Make up fliers for dog walking or whatever and hang them up in busy places that offer a post board, like your local pet store or grocery store. You could even go up to your vets office and see if they would let you do kennel work, not sure if you would be allowed to since youre a minor but you could always ask. Thats about all I can think of, hope it helps!

Answer 5

Have you checked your local animal shelter or SPCA? Or perhaps even inquired at the local hospital for people who have pets at home, but no family to attend them?

Good luck!

Answer 6

I don't think any jobs let you volunteer to take drugs. That's not right. Shame on you for even thinking of it!
