Volunteering isn’t just about helping others—it’s about finding something bigger than ourselves. When you step up and make a difference, you’re not only changing the lives of those in need—you’re uplifting your entire community. At LaMa Animal Rescue, the impact of your time and energy is felt far beyond our shelter walls.
Why Volunteering Matters
A Sense of Purpose
In today’s fast-paced world, many of us search for meaning in our day-to-day lives. Volunteering offers that clarity. Whether you’re walking a dog, singing to a shy cat, or helping at a fundraiser event, every action counts. You’ll see firsthand how your contributions no matter how small create ripples of change.
Cultivating Community Pride
When you volunteer locally, you join a movement of neighbors helping neighbors. That shared commitment fosters a stronger sense of community. Each time you roll up your sleeves at LaMa, you reinforce the idea: “This is our community, and we care.”
How You Can Help at LaMa Animal Rescue
We are a small, passionate team facing big demands—over 130 animals currently in our care and counting. We rely on volunteers and with just 2 to 6 spare hours each week you can make a big difference. Here are just a few ways YOU can make an impact:
- Event Support & Fundraising
Help staff one if our many events, bake sales, or community drives. Every fundraiser brings in essential dollars for food, medicine, and shelter improvements. - Dog Walking & Exercise
Walks aren’t just exercise—they are connection and interaction each animal needs. They teach good habits, ease stress, and help our dogs shine when meeting adoptive families. - Animal Care Chores
From feeding and cleaning to litter box maintenance, your help in daily routines keeps our shelter clean, safe, and welcoming. - Groundskeeping & Facility Tasks
Help with yard work, painting, laundry, organizing donations, and light maintenance.
Small Acts, Big Impact
Every hour you spend with us translates into:
- More walks for dogs who crave attention and stimulation 🐕
- Cleaner, more comfortable spaces for cats and dogs
- Extra hands and a voice at events promoting spay/neuter awareness and adoption
Just 4 hours a week from a volunteer equals over 200 hours in a year—a huge boost to our ability to care for animals and serve the public.
