WE HAVE A BIG JOB TO DO AND WE NEED YOUR HELP!
LA Animal Services (LAAS) is looking for volunteers who are committed and ready to make a difference in the lives of the abandoned and homeless animals in our care. We need kind, animal-loving helpers to work alongside our staff, assisting the public and spending time with the animals in our six Animal Care Centers and at mobile adoption events.
Apply online: https://www.volgistics.com/ex/portal.dll/ap?ap=71176500
YOUR WORK IS VALUED...AND VALUABLE Our volunteers make a huge difference in the lives of the animals in our care by providing them with love, exercise and socialization, introducing them to potential adopters, and by networking them to the public on social media. Our volunteers also make a huge difference in supporting the animal-loving community. There is a volunteer job available for many interests, from animal handling to graphic design to post-adoption support and counseling for pet families.
