Volunteers under age 18

Unfortunately, we cannot accommodate underage volunteers at the shelter to work directly with the animals.

There are, however, a number of ways that kids can get involved to help support the animals at Red Door:

  • Bake Sale/Lemonade Stand: Hold a bake sale and donate the proceeds to Red Door.
  • Collect Wish List Items: Collect donation items from our wish list from kids and parents at your school.
  • Make Flyers: Draw up some handmade flyers for our events or awareness campaigns and post them around your school and neighborhood.
  • Distribute Flyers: Distribute our flyers for our events and campaigns around your school and neighborhood.
  • Collect Pet Food Donations: Collect cat and dog food to donate to our CAFÉ Program.
  • Make Toys: Make homemade cat or rabbit toys. Rabbit toys can be filled with timothy hay, orchard grass, or Oxbow brand treats only. Cat treats can include Temptations or Greenies. Some ideas:
