Volunteer Opportunities
LAPS is a small organization doing big things in Langley for lost, stray, and unwanted animals. Each year, we care for more than 1400 animals. Many of them need medical care, training, and exercise. It takes the whole community to make this happen. Without our volunteers, we wouldn’t be able to continue our life saving work.
We may be a small organization but we are determined to make a big difference for the animals we care for each year. From walking dogs, cleaning kennels, brushing cats, driving animals to veterinary appointments and getting out in the community for educational and fundraising events, our volunteers do it all!
Our volunteers go through a series of training seminars in order to ensure we find the right fit in the shelter for everyone. We are proud to offer volunteer opportunities for members of the public with disabilities and special needs. We also provide enriching environments for community service workers to fulfill their hours of volunteer time. Here at LAPS, we believe that each individual brings their unique value to our organization. Together as a diverse group of like-minded people, we can make a lasting impact for the animals in our community.
