I work at the local Humane Society here in San Diego and there is always a need. In the summer they have what they call Pet pal camps and kids over 14 can be trained to help with that program. My kids have all done that and loved it. The shelter I work at is large and they only euthanize if an animal is really old, suffering or terminally ill. I think you can find one like that in your area.

There is usually training invilved and you can call and they will tell you when their next volunteer training is.

Great idea Megan! You will not regret it.
