I'm thinking of volunteering at the animal welfare foundation by my house. Does anyone happen to know what I can expect? I have done this before 7 yrs. ago but it was for a desperate guy trying to save animals but didn't have the money to keep it up. He was glad for the help so I did a lot.This place is an established no-kill shelter that has been around for yrs. I was wondering if volunteers have certain duties to do. And if they require a certification of some sort. Anyone who could give me some insight before I go over there would help me a lot. It will be a rewarding experience!!

That is so wonderful of you!

At our local cat shelter, I was told they'd be happy to get any kind of volunteers - people to clean cages and feed cats and also people to help out with adoptions, answer the phone, help with their website and lots of other things.

Why don't you call them or pay a visit and ask them what kind of volunteers they are looking for. I'm sure they'd be happy to let you know.
