To learn about pet volunteer opportunities with your local animal protection organizations, we suggest you check the Yellow Pages under the headings "animal shelter," "humane society," and "animal control," or just call Information. You will need to contact each group directly to learn about volunteer needs and opportunities.
Here are just a few of the benefits of volunteering:
- Keep good company. You'll make lots of new friends—and not just the four-legged kind. Working side by side with people who share similar interests can forge lifelong friendships.
- Meet the new you. You'll discover skills you never knew you had, and you may be surprised at what you're capable of achieving.
- Get warm fuzzies. You'll never find a more grateful and accepting comrade than an animal you've comforted.
- Enjoy a wagging tail, a purr, and a smile. Didn't someone once say that the best things in life are free?
- Gain a new career. You'll learn things that may lead you to the career—or career change—of your dreams. Employers and college admissions officers look favorably on time spent in volunteer service.
