Although we are not equipped at this time to allow hands-on volunteering with the animals for those under the age of 18, there are many opportunities for younger volunteers to assist us in our mission.

Supply Drives: Running an animal shelter is an expensive endeavor and we need donations of every day items to assist us! Many school children help the shelter animals rescued by Project Pet by holding supply drives in areas such as their classrooms, scout troops, churches and other youth groups.

Publicity for Pets: It's amazing at what a colorful sign can do! A bright sign that says "adopt me" really attracts a lot of attention and can help us when we are having difficulty placing a pet. We use these signs at our adoption events to hang on the kennels and even at our Love a Pet cat adoption centers in Petsmart. We prefer that signs are laminated that way they will last longer and can help even more animals.

Animal Ambassadors: Because our animals can't talk, we need to talk for them and speak up for them in our community! As an animal ambassador our youth volunteers can pass out information at various community events and not only help publicize the plight of animals in our municipal shelters but also tell the community what Project Pet is doing to bring about solutions to companion pet overpopulation. Volunteering as an Ambassador includes helping to distribute general information as well as publicize special events. Parental assistance and supervision is required.
