Think Global...Act Local!
Links to local animal care and advocacy sites

Veterinarians
For those more medically-inclined, many veterinarians welcome volunteer help. Duties range from cleaning kennels to assisting the doctor or technicians. This is a great opportunity for people considering veterinary medicine as a career.

Finding Local Opportunities
Ask friends and family, check the phone book, ask your current veterinarian about local animal agencies that could use a helping hand.

Thinking "global", you can start right here on the web looking for local resources. Many About.com guides for various US and Canadian locales offer resources (rescues, shelters, veterinarians, and more) that will aid you in your search for opportunities in your area.

Note to Veterinarians and Animal Organizations:
If you would like to have YOUR clinic or organization included with these local listings, please contact the Guide for your location.

"Global" Resources
Adoption Links - local and nationwide sites showcasing animals up for adoption, and how you can help.
