Become a Volunteer!

There are many ways to volunteer at LAWS.

Volunteer

Volunteers are the heart and soul of LAWS.  They do everything from cleaning kennels to socializing our animals to fundraising, community outreach, helping our animals find their forever homes.

TNR Partners

TNR (Trap, Neuter, Return/Rehome) is one of our most important programs.  TNR Partners feed and/or trap feral colonies of cats, care for them while in their kennels awaiting spay/neuter/shots or a barn home, help prioritize the calls, and care for the equipment.  Extra training is required for these volunteers, and kitten cuddles are few and far between, but they also know they are directly saving lives!

Junior Volunteers

LAWS welcomes youth volunteers age 13-17. For your safety, and for the safety of our cats, we have some restrictions for junior volunteer work:

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY 1. Any and all volunteers under 18 must always be accompanied by their parent/guardian or a "mentor" who is at least 18 years old for all of their shifts. We want the parent/guardian/mentor to be an equal partner in the junior volunteer's work. Because of this, the parent/guardian/mentor who will be partnering with the junior volunteer must fill out their section of the application. 2. Junior Volunteers will not have access to the door lock. 3. All Junior Volunteers must have parental consent via a signature on the statement at the end of the application.

Compassionate Volunteers / Fosters

From time to time, a person cannot care for their animals for a short period of time due to temporary hardship or a medical procedure or sudden illness.  Compassionate Volunteers and Fosters provide a lifeline, caring for an animal for a short time until their people are back on their feet.  This can take many forms, from a "visiting nurse" approach to full on fostering.  The program is still in its infancy, so we are relying on volunteers to help us steer this program.
