Canine Volunteer Roles
Canine Companion Dog Walking and Training
These hands-on animal care roles range from dog-walking to working with our training programs to help prepare animals to become someone’s new best friend!
Canine Enrichment Team
Enrichment is a critical component of animal care. We are often asked what exactly “enrichment” means. In animal care, we use the term for any item or activity that we add to an animal’s environment to enhance the quality or value of their experience in our care. That could include a fun puzzle game a dog has to use their brain to solve, an interesting bouncy toy for a kitten to play with, or calming music to help ease their stress.
Doggie Playgroups
Playing with other dogs in group settings is one form of enrichment that can have significant potential benefits for shelter dogs, including socialization, exercise and opportunities to engage in additional stimulating activities, such as interaction with people, exploration and object play. Time in playgroups reduces stress in house‐trained dogs by providing opportunities for elimination outside when outdoor play areas are used, and increases the likelihood this desirable behavior will be maintained. Volunteers can help host playgroup sessions with the help of staff and other volunteers at LCAC!
