Volunteer

Thank you for your interest in helping the dogs of LCAL! There are three main ways to help our rescue: as a long-term or short-term foster, as a thrift store volunteer, or as a rescue volunteer.

We are a foster-based rescue, so foster families are the heroes that allow us to help dogs in need. Short-term fosters that can dog-sit when a foster is out of town also are a big help. We provide all the food and supplies for our fosters—you just provide the love and teach them about home life. If you are interested in fostering, please fill out the Foster Application instead of this Volunteer Application.

Our thrift store is the primary reason we are able to save the dogs that we do, so helping there has a huge impact for our dogs. Our thrift store volunteer position is a commitment of 4 hours a month. Thrift store hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mondays thru Saturdays. Training involves one session with our thrift store manager, Linda, and then you can get on schedule from there.

Our Rescue Volunteers support us by transporting dogs, walking foster dogs when our fosters need support, helping at events, helping with social media, and more. As these volunteer opportunities arise, we email our Rescue Volunteers, and you sign up when your schedule allows.
