My daughter, who is almost 12 has wanted to be a vet since she was old enough to say it.......yeah I know she's still young and big dreams change once real life starts.....but I want to encourage her to chase her dreams. Anyhow that said she came up with the idea of volunteering at a local SPCA, so tomorrow her and I are going over to fill out the application. I was told on the phone she can volunteer this young, but I have to be with her (no big deal of course). I am proud of her choice to help other animals out, here's my dilemma.....#1 she is a triplet and her sister and brother heard what her plans are and of course are now jealous and want to come too, but I'm not sure what the adult to child ratio is for volunteering, of course all my kids love animals, but since she wants to be a veterinarian it makes sense that she gets to go if only one can go..............does anyone know how many kids they would let me take and if I can just let them take turns on who goes with me? Secondly my daughter really wants to know what all she would get to do, I am assuming it will be cleaning cages, maybe feeding the animals, that sort of thing. Third is there a requirement for how often you have to show up? I would assume not since it's volunteering, but since I work and have 5 kids to run here and there, I really can only help maybe a few Saturdays a month.
