Volunteer with Dallas Animal Services
Volunteers 15 and up can serve independently after an orientation, taking on tasks like dog walking, cat socializing, and event support, while ages 13-15 can join animal handling roles alongside a parent or guardian. It is a solid option if you want hands-on shelter experience run directly by the city.

“Loved this one — the organizer had everything set up before we arrived and explained exactly what we'd be doing. It ran about 30 minutes long, which caught a few of us off guard, so plan for that. Would definitely come back.”
💡 Bring closed-toe shoes and a water bottle — it gets warm.
