Answer Here's where you'll find a list of needs in your area, but keep in mind that your age is a bit young.
It's worth a try though, right?

Also, ask the rescue organizations that work through places like Pet Smart, they're usually there on the weekends after noon - they may have a need, but it might only be helping clean up. It's a start though!
