The Humane Society Of Hall County is the local shelter in my area and the only closest No Kill shelter is several hours away.

Cookiebaker, it is very admirable of you to want to volunteer. Just contact the volunteer coordinator at your local shelter and express your desire for wanting to help out. He/she will be able to point you in the right direction.

Some shelters require you have a shaperone if you are under 16 or 18. If you are not able to find a shaperone, you can still help out by collecting newspaper, blankets, toys, food, etc... and donating them to the shelter.
