How can i volunteer in an animal shelter in Chicago?|174383

Those idiots want you to be 18 to volunteer! I am 17 right now and need a website where being 18 is not required.

Talk to your alderman. For a few bucks he can fix anything.

First, calling them _idiots_ is neither fair or mature. Many organizations that use volunteers are prevented from using anyone under 18 because of legal and insurance reasons. If you have tried all the shelters, and they all say you must be 18, then you just need to wait. However, you could also try calling _Rescue_ places...the groups that rescue animals from shelters so they will not be euthanized. Also call some vets offices, some of them will let you volunteer in their offices. Keep tying, but do understand that the people that work there just have to obey the laws.

wait till your 18
go to a shelter and say
