    Hello,

    I wasn't entirely too sure where and how to ask this but I am a social work intern looking for animal welfare organizations and shelters in the Austin, TX area that provide accommodations for volunteer applicants with disabilities and/or specific needs (ex: individuals with mobility limitations, sight limitations, and/or in need of translators). I've already found a few like the Catnip Casa Cat Refuge, Austin Humane Society, Austin Animal Center, and Pflugerville Animal Welfare Services. Although some of them provide potential accommodations, I wanted to know if there were any other ones that people knew of or maybe organizations that had specific accommodation protocols for individuals with disabilities and needs. I am hoping to refer these organizations to ensure clients that they have as many different opportunities to choose from. I understand that there probably aren't going to be many options but I figured I could still ask. 

    Thank you so much!
