1. Special Needs
2. Summers Only
3. Reasons why
4. All Shapes  and Sizes
5. Odd Jobs
6. It All Helps

1. “I started working at the animal shelter after school a year ago. Some people came to my school to give a talk about ways teens can help out in the community. I liked the idea of getting involved with something worthwhile, and as I’ve always loved animals the shelter seemed the natural choice for me.
2. Basically, I help out for a couple of hours about twice a week, more in the holidays. Sometimes I help the staff members feed and clean and exercise the animals. Other times, I answer phone calls or help members of the public to choose a pet. Last year during the summer holiday, I also spoke to some groups of children about looking after pets properly and the importance of showing kindness to animals. I especially enjoyed that!
3. When most people think about animal shelters, they think of cats and dogs. Well, there are plenty of both at our shelter, but there are sometimes farm animals there, too, such as, horses, sheep, goats, chickens, ducks and once, even a llama who we named Jack! Most of the animals are either brought to the shelter by their owners because they can no longer take care of them, or they are removed from their homes because they are not being looked after properly. Once I went with a member of  staff to rescue a pony from a farm where it had been extremely neglected. I found it hard not to burst into tears when I first saw a pony, but I was pleased to report that he made a full recovery at the shelter.
4. Some of the animals need more care than usual, so a foster home is found for them. I have taken home two little kittens before, as well as injured guinea pig and a puppy that had been found abandoned in a rubbish bin. Sometimes my mum jokes that our house is more like a zoo than a home!
5. Summer is the busiest time for shelters, with many people simply abandoning their pets when they go on holiday. So why not ask to volunteer at your local shelter this summer? Or you could do something else, such as going to a charity event, or volunteer to visit senior citizen for a few hours a week. I’ve learnt a lot about myself and others through volunteering and I’ve met a lot of interesting people, too!”
