No- pretty much anywhere that involves animals requires employees to be 18 and older for insurance liability reasons. Some places may take 16 year olds, but a 12 year old? Not a chance.
2 :
Legally she can't get a paying job at this age. She can try farm hand work for a private party, pet sitting business, pet walking business, pretty much anything that is privately run.

She can't get a paying job, but many shelters take volunteers. Where I live volunteers can start at age 13 and there's many many jobs involving animals. Even at 12 there's still some stuff available. So maybe you could look into that?

I walk a dog and its easy and fun. Good for the dog and good for me. You don't have to be 18 all the time to get some jobs. Maybe if she lives close by Neighbors then she could ask them if she can take care of their pet. I would say Walking a dog, Taking care of a pet while someone's gone away on a trip, Maybe even grooming a pet or entertaining a pet. If she wants that job then she can go to some neighbors and ask them. Hope this helps! :)

Her family can foster a guide dog puppy, and if she's smart and responsible enough, she can /help/ train him. Her family can also foster animals from your local shelter and she can help. The parents will be doing most of the work, because, well, they're the adults. She won't get paid, but her and her family will gain experience from having animals around 24/7. She'll even learn a lot about how guide dogs help blind or physically disabled people.

12 years old sounds a bit young to be thinking about work! I agree with Kate, who answered above... I'm not high enough level to "thumbs up" yet, though. :( Volunteering at a shelter might be a good idea for her, though! Lots of no-kill shelters, rescues and even a humane society or the pound might be able to help her out if she just wants to be around animals, though. Good luck to her!
