Youth Volunteers

You don't have to be an adult to make a difference at All the Paws Animal Rescue. Kids and teens can support rescue and adoption in many meaningful ways.

Youth Volunteers

Organize a Supplies or Food Drive

Run a drive in your neighborhood, school, community center or religious organization.

  • We always need dog treats, canned and dry cat and dog food, paper towels, and zip bags in sandwich, snack and gallon sizes.
  • We welcome bundled newspapers, empty paper towel and gift wrap rolls, and clean bath towels — even older or stained towels are fine.

Spread the Word About All the Paws

  • Join the All the Paws online community and help match homeless pets with adopters.
  • Take photos or videos of our dogs and cats and share them.
  • Share our Amazon and Chewy wishlists with friends and family.

Help Foster a Rescued Pet

Help foster a rescue pet in your home as a “foster sibling,” under the guidance of a parent or guardian. You can also accompany your parent or guardian volunteer on a Dogventure to enrich a dog’s day with activities they love.

14 or Older?

These opportunities are a great fit for volunteers ages 14+ looking to earn service hours while giving back. We cannot make exceptions to the age requirement.

Age requirements

Volunteers under 18 must be accompanied by a responsible adult for the entire shift.
