City Animal Care and Adoption Center is always in need of volunteers.
If you have just a few hours to donate, it will make the difference
for a homeless animal.
If
you are 18 or over and would like to be involved in the "Volunteer
Program" please come by the shelter. You may volunteer
any day we are open, Tuesday - Thursday 10:00 am to 6;00
pm and Saturday 10:00 am to 5:00 pm. Help is needed
in areas such as:
Volunteering
as a Foster Parent - The foster parent program serves
many purposes. First, time is not on the side of a shelter
animal. By temporarily fostering a kitten, sick cats, puppies
or sick dogs, volunteers can give LCAS the time needed to
find a good and appropriate home for the adoptee. Second,
not all animals do well in a shelter, particularly those
who have always been in a home. By fostering, much of the
stress the adoptee is facing is alleviated. Additionally,
any training that is provided can help insure the adoptee
will always have a good home.
The
benefits of fostering are numerous. Volunteers can help a
needy animal greatly without making a lifetime commitment.
While the adoptee is in a foster home, the animal can be
given unconditional, non-judgmental love. A pet can receive
the break it needs and deserves, and foster parents can see
the pure joy on its face and that of its permanent owner
when they discover each other at an adoption. And should
a foster parent decide life just wouldn't be complete without
this wonderful pet, the foster parent may decide to adopt
the animal.
If
you want to foster a pet, you need to be an established volunteer.
If
you are 10 to 17 years of age and would like to become a
junior volunteer, have your parents come by and fill out
an application.
Our Junior volunteer program is on Wednesday afternoons from
3:00 pm to 5:45 pm.
