I've been volunteering at one of the BCSPCA shelters by my house for a year now and will continue to do so until I leave, so I was just wondering if anyone has ever volunteered at the Orlando Humane Society/SPCA?? It's about a 20 minute drive down the freeway, so it's not exactly that close, but I was just curious. I would really just like to keep volunteering with some sort of animal shelter while I'm away
I'd like to find out a bit more about this as well. Are there any VoluntEars programs working with animals?
Have you guys tried emailing the people from the official international programs website? Maybe they could give you a more accurate information about it?? I do believe there are voluteering programs with children but I don't know about animals.

Not sure what other locations do but in Canad F&B our manager was a dog lover and she arranged us to help out with causes with local animal groups. Mostly just dog walking fundraisers, but every bit helps. We also had a permy who was big into volunteering locally and he was always trying to get us to help out!
