Where to volunteer with animals?

parksloper24

Hey gang
I'm going through serious pup withdrawl since mine is living at my parents. OK its been 2 years but living in PS and seeing a million dogs a day is NOT helping the situation. I don't have the time to devote to one pup, but would love to volunteer. Is there a place in the Slope I can do this? Looking for dogs, cats, and not afraid of lizards (no snakes!). I looked back a few posts to see if this has been covered and couldn't find it anywhere so help would be mucho appreciated.
Gracias!

Sean Casey. I go there all the time. You can socialize cats, walk dogs...they also have birds, lizards, turtles, bunnies and some other animals.

The ASPCA on the east side of Manhattan has volunteer dog walkers and they spend a lot of time in Carl Schurtz park

BTW all animals lovers should be daily going to the animal rescue web site and vote for a shelter ( Sean Casey is on the list) the most votes every week wins $1000 which is BIG money for the small shelters NO Btrooklyn shelter has won yet

New York Cares also has animal-related volunteer opportunities, including dog walking and cat cuddling.

You do have to go through a (short, painless) orientation process, but the bonus is that most projects don't require a long-term commitment.
