I'm so excited! Well....ok, here's what happened:
Today at school, some presenters came into our school to take to us about finding jobs and stuff. They gave us a sheet of volunteer places, and I was hoping they would have an animal shelter. and yes, they have two! One is the York Region Provincial Animal Care Centre, and the other is the Toronto Humane Society. I really want to go, but I don't know which one to go to! Maybe I'll go to a closer one, and I have to find out a way for my parents to bring me there and bring me back. I could only go when its summer vacation, BTW. But when school starts again, maybe I won't want to leave.
Here's my question. Would I be too young for it? I'm only 13 years old, but they gave us this sheet, so I'm assuming we could go? and its only volunteer work. Do any of you work at animal shelters? How old do we have to be to volunteer?
I really want to go! Maybe if I go, and I find an animal I really, really like, I could convince my parents to let me adopt?;) I don't know, but I just want to work at a shelter! I'm going to go to their websites later, if you guys want to see, these are the sites:
