We care for many, many cats and dogs at our shelter in Carencro, just outside of Lafayette. Feeding, cleaning, exercising, washing dishes, giving medication, sweeping, hosing, bathing, brushing, laundry happens twice a day, every day in the cat wing and the dog wing.
And then we spend as much time as we can playing, socializing, training. It’s not glamorous work but it’s necessary and it’s rewarding. If you can spare a few hours every week, either in the morning or late afternoon/evening, please consider this volunteer position.

*Note:  Please be prepared to spend a few hours training to work with either the cats or the dogs, this is the ensure the safety of people as well as animals. We also ask that you commit to volunteering with us for at least 6 months, training a new volunteer is a time consuming investment in our future that we are gladly making, but we need to ensure that this is time well spent for you and for us.

If you’d like to help but can’t commit to a regular schedule, maybe you could join our transport team. We need people to drive our cats and dogs to (and back from) local vet clinics for spay/neuter appointments, tests and checkups. Often, you can simply pick the animal up from our shelter and drive him/her to the vet, without having to stay for the appointment. We also need drivers to collect animals from their appointments and return them to the shelter.

We hold fundraisers and awareness events throughout the year and are always looking for people to help us with them. If you like helping with events or would just like to stuff some envelopes or help out on the day, we’d love to have you.
