Animal Shelters and Wildlife Rescue Centers

Volunteer at an animal shelter or wildlife rescue center! These worldwide programs take in abandoned, abused, injured or orphaned animals and give them a good home. Our animal shelters aim to find new homes for stray cats and dogs, and our wildlife rescue centers provide care for animals who are unable to survive in the wild due to their injured or orphanhood.
