Me and my parents just talked about letting me volunteer at our animal shelter, and they said yes! I just e-mailed the shelter explaining everything. Please keep your fingers and paws crossed that they will accept me! :)

Awww, you're so lucky!:p I was planning on volunteering at an animal shelter here, but I had to be at least 16 to have contact with the animals.:( But I would've went anyways, they just didn't accept anymore volunteers at that time. So I'll wait until next summer probably, or a could volunteer at Petsmart;)
Anyways, good luck!!!:D I'm sure you'll get the job anyways, and have fun!
Keep us posted!

If it turns out that you have to be a certain age to volunteer, you can also see if you could volunteer by helping around the front desk or something else that isn't directly with the animals but still helps them out. Besides dog walking here, there's also web-design, taking pictures of the dogs, grooming, helping at the front desk and the list goes on.
