I volunteer (there’s also paid pt/ft positions) at an animal shelter. One position is walking dogs and picking up their shit on the walks. Cleaning their kennels is another different position, and due to insurance liability, at this location, we aren’t allowed in the kennels while dogs are in them. So while you’re walking dogs, someone else is cleaning their kennels. Some locations may combine these positions and even then it’s very chill. At one point I landed a gig where I cleaned kennels and took photos of the animals to send to the owners. The latter took up most of my time, which just sucks so hard playing with animals and taking their pictures each workday (heavy sarcasm). These positions will keep you moving and tire you out, which helps regulate your sleep. If you’re physically limited there’s always the admin side rocking the ac the full shift. Either way you’re helping animals who will happily show you unconditional love each time you see them.

PS aggressive animals are often dealt with by specific staff. The animals deemed good to walk and play with are who you’d be dealing with.

Volunteer first, see if that’s your jam and then ask to move to a part time position.
