Volunteering one's time is such a wonderful virtue to pass down to our kids. Anyone can write a check or donate a box of old clothes or toys. To be giving of your time is truly above and beyond. If you love animals, this one is a great fit for you! Did you know there's a position called "cat cuddlers?!" This could be you...
If you have terrible allergies to animals, maybe the Turtle and Tortoise Society is better suited for you. Either way, you may walk away from this experience with a new friend, paid position or hobby!
