Welcome!
Thank you for your interest in volunteering with AWLA. Our shelter depends on dedicated volunteers to be able to complete our mission: improve the lives of animals and people by providing resources, care, and protection.
At this time, we are not taking new applications. Please check back for updates.
You can see descriptions of our volunteer opportunities at the bottom of the page.

Once you submit your application you should receive an auto-generated email confirming your application submission. If you don't see it, please check your spam folder.
Please be aware that submission does not guarantee acceptance into the Volunteer Program. We will be accepting volunteers as space becomes available, based on both opportunity shift availability and the alignment of your schedule and interests with the openings we have.
