It depends how old you are, are you over 18?
- Cleaning cages
- Interacting and socializing with the animals (everything from mice to dogs)
- Training and walking dogs
- Helping potential adopters find the animal best suited to them
- Animal fostering
Some of these will depend on your age, among other things. For example, if you want to walk dogs, most places require that you have a quick training session, be over 18, and be physically able to control the dogs if necessary. Fostering also has a list of requirements.
