I've been trying to go to our local shelter's volunteer orientation for a couple of months now, but they were always scheduled on the nights I had to work. The coordinator told me she was having a make-up session today at the shelter that I was planning to go to, but my DD was home sick from school today so I couldn't go today either. Now this afternoon they posted on their website that due to the huge turnout they got at volunteer orientation this month, they won't be accepting any more volunteers until the fall! Good for them, but I am bummed out.
There is another cat-only shelter I have thought of volunteering at, but it is farther away and I'm not sure how often I'd be able to volunteer after factoring in the drive time. I am thinking I will still call them tomorrow and get some more information.
There are also many foster-based rescues around here, but their websites usually are only asking for volunteer foster homes; I am not able to foster at this time, so that wouldn't work. For those of you who work with foster-based rescues, is there much that non-fostering volunteers can do to help out beyond giving donations?
