YOUTH VOLUNTEERS

UNDER 18 & want to participate?

We have plenty of opportunities for youth to get involved in helping The Pet Rescue Center:

  • Collect Gently Used Items off our Wish List
  • Make Blankets and Pillows for our animals to cozy up to while waiting to find their forever homes.
  • Set Up a Lemonade or Cookie Stand on your street to give out info about our cause and raise money to donate to our cause.
  • Bake for our Bake sales
  • Aspiring Photographers (click to read more about volunteering to photograph our rescues)

Our NEW Educational Youth Program
• Tours of The Pet Rescue Center & Alicia Pet Care Center •
We are very excited to announce that The PRC's Educational Program for Schools is up and running.  We have created a program aimed at educating kids (ages K-6) about Rescue, Rehab and Rehoming Dogs and Cats in the shelter system and the importance of proper pet care.

    Why can't Youth Volunteers work directly with our Rescue pets?

    The Pet Rescue Center is a non-profit organization run mainly by volunteers.  Volunteers are not considered employees and thus are not covered by our insurance or under our workers comp.  We have tried to work with our insurance in an effort to allow our Young Volunteers to be able to walk and play with our rescue pets.  It is always unknown as to the behavior of animals that we rescue many times from stray or abusive circimstances. It takes time to assess the risks and behaviors of animals and due to their unpredictable nature we are unable to have Youth work directly with our animals even under adult or guardian supervision.
