There are millions of animals who are in dire need of love and help but most importantly, a new home. Volunteers are indispensable to animal shelters especially those who are overloaded and underfunded.

People who volunteered in shelters are sharing their experiences, showing just how fun and rewarding it is to be working with animals. Seeing these adorable photos may motivate you to go and help out.

But volunteering is not just cuddling these cute furballs, you will be asked to do all kinds of tasks such as fundraising, admin works, and even cleaning the poop.

Here are some of those cute and inspiring posts.

You would never guess that this girl was beaten and scared when she came in today. She's so scared she's chewed off all the hair on the bottom half of her body. Everytime I stood up she would cower away and wouldn't stop shaking for hours. I stayed with her talked with her and let her know how loved she already is. By the end of the day she couldn't stop loving on me and wanting to sit with me and follow me around, she's become my girl. I did her intake and the only name that kept going over in my head was Annabelle and I swear the second I called her that she knew that she was valued ❤ • • • • #community #animalshelter #animlaslivesmatter #animalshelters #adoptdontshop #animalshelterlife #animalshelterlove #giveback #grateful #dogsofinstagram #dogsofinsta #shelterdogs #myboy #dogkisses #shelterdogs #shelterlife #volunteerwork #animalsheltervolunteer #givebacktothecommunity #givebacktotheanimals #lovemyjob #workinghard #puppiesofig #puppiesofinsta #shelterpuppy #adoptdontshop

"I started traveling the world years ago at a time in my life when I did not have a pet. During one of my journeys I met a woman that ran a rescue called Bali Dogs who inspired me to focus my energy on animal rescue. After this trip I adopted my pup Bodhi and now, five years later, I'm doing exactly what I had intended. I hope one day to share my knowledge about volunteering and rescue work with the less privileged throughout the world, where ever my travels may take me."

"The teamwork of all the incredible people involved in rescue is what really blows me away- their compassion and empathy for the animals is huge. I've chosen to dedicate my time to making a difference in the lives of animals, whether it's fostering a dog or educating someone about the importance of spay/neuter, it all makes a dent in the overwhelming problem we chip away at. Getting to see the transformation of a scared, traumatized dog to seeing pictures of them with their new family smiling and happy is simply so rewarding."
