Volunteer opportunities for kids

Volunteering is a great way to spend time with the animals at our Sanctuary and also make a difference in their lives. When supervised by a parent or guardian, kids can volunteer to help with cleaning, walking and caring for the animals. Kids under 18 years of age must be accompanied by an adult at all times while volunteering. One adult can supervise two minors.

For safety considerations, each animal area has its own minimum age requirements. The minimum age to volunteer in each area is:

Area Minimum age: 
Cat World - 9+ 
Bunny House - 8+ 
Parrot Garden - 8+ 
Dogtown and outings - 16+ 
Piggy Paradise - 16+ 
Horse Haven - 16+ 
Wild Friends - 18+ 
Sanctuary Store - 18+ 
Angels Rest - 18+ 
Landscaping - 18+
