The Pet Circle animal shelter in Waco is facing a challenge as summer approaches. Typically, the shelter sees a decrease in volunteers during this time, while the number of animals in need of care increases. To address this issue, Pet Circle is implementing a change to its volunteer policy.

The shelter is lowering its age requirement, allowing 16 and 17-year-olds to participate. Further details about the new volunteer policy and how teens can get involved are available from Pet Circle. This change aims to help the shelter manage the summer months with adequate support.
