Wags Kids - Volunteers under 16 years old
As a family-friendly rescue, Wags & Walks encourages and allows children to get involved with their parents. We welcome parents to volunteer with children at a 1:1 ratio, while teens ages 16+ are invited to volunteer on their own after attending an orientation with a parent. Volunteers under the age of 16 must be accompanied by an adult (parent/legal guardian who has gone through training) at all times and cannot be the primary handler.
If you have a caregiver, personal care assistant, support worker or health aide that supports you, they will be required to attend all trainings as well as accompany you during all volunteer hours.
1. Click on "fill application" and create an account with your name and email address.
