Do you love animals and all the cute things they do to make their way into our hearts? Well, there’s no better way to help pets in need than to volunteer with a shelter program. Animal shelters are always looking for people to help them. Volunteer programs range in the animals you work with. Most will require you to visit an animal shelter and work with animals there. But if you take part in a fostering program, you may work with animals at your house to prepare them to find their fur-ever homes. The hardest part of volunteering at an animal shelter? Trying not to get attached to all the adorable animals there.
Res-paw-nsibilities
When you volunteer at an animal shelter, you may end up doing anything from walking dogs to folding pamphlets. It depends on what they need help with. Some of the most common responsibilities of an animal shelter volunteer include; dog walking, socializing animals (Yep, this means playing with them!), feeding animals, bathing dogs, cleaning kennels, distributing flyers, and attending events (but there are plenty of other things you may do!).
Goals
Why volunteer at an animal shelter? When you volunteer at a shelter, you don’t only give the shelter a larger group of people to work with, you also give them more people to show the animals they work with that they are loved. Volunteering with shelter animals prepares them to find fur-ever homes that they may never have had otherwise!
