Animal Rescue educates the public on responsible pet care and has a life time commitment to rescuing unwanted pets and farm animals. Volunteers are needed for cleaning, fundraising, office work, computer work, and outdoor activities with the animals. The Baltimore Zoo encourages the values of education, conservation, and recreation. They are involved with many research projects and events dealing with animals and their environments. Volunteers serve a very important purpose at the Zoo.
Many opportunities are open to volunteers from animal care, to events, and customer relations.
They even have special projects available for groups. Volunteers must be 18 years or older, work a minimum of four hours per month, and stay for the duration of events. The Maryland SPCA prevents cruelty and neglect of animals and fosters the humane relationship between animals and people.
