Help Wanted!
We have several volunteer opportunities available. Further details can be found in the navigation section on the left. Currently, we could use some help especially in the following areas:Animal Caregiver

During peak hours at the shelter (especially during weekends) LHS needs help in the lobby working with potential adopters, helping screen paperwork and bringing dogs out of the kennel to meet potential families.

Help is needed to post and update profiles and to also cross post on websites such as PitBull Central.

Help is needed to reach out to cat and dog rescue groups to transfer animals out of the shelter into reputable rescues.
