Volunteering at the Animal shelter
Hi,
Myself and my best friend (Brianna Smale) have been talking about volunteering at the local shelter during the school holiday. Has anyone done this before. If so how did you find it.
Thanks

I have never done anything like this, but now that I no longer work and family are moving
interstate, I have been trying to think of something I could volunteer my time to that would
be meaningful and make a difference in some animals lives,
so I would love to hear from other folk that have had some experience with this, thanks.

I have volunteered at a number of animal shelters.
Most will have a minimum age limit of 16 or so- particularly if you want to work with the animals.
Many people don't want to volunteer because they think it's sad seeing all the pets in cages, but I never had a problem with it because you also get to see them being reunited with their owners & finding loving new homes :)
The work can be tough, as most of it involves cleaning- but it is great when you get to play with the pets :)

Brianna I don't they really want us to volunteer :( They seem pretty strict on age on the website. Its because they don't have a working with children license
