LAA is an all-volunteer organization and volunteers are essential to our operations. LAA runs an income-based spay/neuter voucher program, which issues vouchers individuals can use to reduce the cost of getting their pet spayed or neutered. This helps to prevent pet homelessness by reducing unwanted litters. LAA also maintains a need-based pet food bank, helping pets stay in homes when their human's life get tough. LAA promotes enrichment of our community through progressive thinking, education, awareness, and public support. We are committed to addressing the root causes of animal homelessness in our community. LAA does this through preventative strategies and is not a rescue, we do not directly care for any homeless animals. By volunteering with LAA, you become a part of our mission to prevent homeless animals.
Because our programs rely on volunteers to operate, we need reliable volunteers who can make a commitment to LAA. Volunteers looking to fulfill community service hours as required by school or court mandate can only help in limited areas due to training requirements. We ask that you be at least 16 years of age to volunteer in order to fulfill school-required community service and at least 18 years of age for other volunteering. Younger volunteers may be able to participate in limited areas and must be accompanied by a responsible adult.
