Call the local area humane society, I'm sure they need volunteers. I think it's wonderful that you want to help.

Oh yeah, slaughterhouse, taht works...Gross...So, what about a dog walker, 10 bucks an hour isn't that bad, at least that's what my friends makes, you can also work at a shelter or kennel(for pets who's owners are on vacation)

You can check with the local SPCAs (many have Web sites) or actually look in your local yellow pages - but the best option may be to look for adoption sites for specific breeds (like greyhounds) where there are lots of dogs who are no longer used for their original purpose (racing) but now are looking for homes.  Good luck!

Blimey! what a big beast Alan has become. Boa beds are available in all good pet stores, but they aren't bags\nMaybe a box would be best.\n\nBags are constricting.And fashioning your own from say, half a dozen giraffe necks, maybe mistaken for food.\nI would hate to find out Alan has mistaken your bag as lunch and \nswallowed it! after Trying to squeeze it to death.

There are many at your local animal shelter.\n\nMost of them may actually have 4 legs, but it's easy to remove them.

I get e-mails from 1800 save a pet .com  They seem to have tons of access to really great animals.  \n\nAny way... they have a link on volunteering, you may want to check it out and see if it helps you or if they have something in your area.  \n\nBy the way... I think it's great that you want to help!!  Good luck.\n\nThe link: http://savinglives.1-800-save-a-pet.com/site/PageServer?pagename=VolunteerLandingpage

I would have to say no. I however recommend checking it up on Encarta, and Infoplease. If I recall those animals came later, yet my memory is not great with times.

None of the animals in my house were born free. We have domesticated animals through the years for companionship, entertainment and pleasure. Now, animals normally kept in a zoo are never socialized to the point of being a pet and I do believe they should be left to their natural habitat. I have never been to a circus because I believe so strongly that the animals are made to perform things that they aren't supposed to do and would never do in nature. I won't support them. The danger for animals that depend on us are great when left to fend for themselves. They have been domesticated and therefore are dependent on us as their providers. I can see that in the near future though, with land and timber being developed for human convenience we are going to see a lot more "born-free" animals close to our houses. They are running out of natural habitat and have to relocate. But, I'm just as sure that humans will kill them without considering that we have destroyed where their home was and they have to go somewhere.

There's no way that we could possibly put all of this in a Yahoo! answers space.  But there are plenty of sources out there that can help you.  The first link below will take you to a company that you can talk to about starting your own pet store.  The second is a link from Entrepreneur Magazine which talks about the different kinds of pet services that people are spending money on right now.  Hope that's a good starting point for you.  Good luck!

Get a list of shelters from Co. Welfare. Then call the nearest to volunteer. Keep calling different shelters until someone says "COME ON DOWN!"  Be sure to tell them if you have prior experience in volunteering, if not they will still have something for you to do! GOOD LUCK AND GOD BLESS!

Try a doggy/kitty day care that would incorporate walking services, training, kenneling and just a friendly environment.\n\nYou can maybe get training and references from volunteering at your local animal shelter.\n\nYour rates may need to be lower than the competition at first but after you get a few committed and satisfied customers you will be able to increase your rates.\n\nI don't know what your neighborhood allows, so you might want to check your zoning rules.\n\nI would pay good money if I could find someone reputable to take care of my animals and wouldn't just feed them crappy food and cage them up for hours on end.\n\nI think whatever you decide to do you'll excel, you stayed at a job for 11 yrs that speaks volume.\n\nStand out from the rest(which isn't that difficult) treat the animals well, and try to restrain from cages and cheap food.\n\nGood Luck!!

There is some funding for horse/animal rescues, however, the size they have to be to get the funding does not allow someone with meager land and money to recieve the funding.  If you want to operate a horse rescue and do not have lots of land and money to begin with, you must rely on private donations.\n\n  Good luck!!!  Even if you can only help a couple of horses in need, you are a hero in my book!
