Make a Difference at LCAS!
Volunteer or Foster
Have extra time and love to give? We’d love your help supporting the animals in our care!
Ready to Join Us?
Complete our volunteer or foster application to get started! Please note, we’re a busy shelter, so application reviews may take some time. We appreciate your patience and encourage you to visit and meet the animals—they’ll love the extra attention (and treats!).
Volunteer Opportunities for All Ages
Daily Tasks
Help with laundry, dishes, and cleaning—just like at home, our animals go through lots of dishes and blankets!
Spend Time with the Animals
Even 15 minutes of your time can brighten their day. Kids are welcome to bring books and read to the animals.
Enrichment Activities
Assist with making special treats and providing enrichment to keep the animals happy and engaged.
Dog Walks & Transport
Trained volunteers can take certain shelter dogs for off-site walks or assist with transportation.
Become a Foster
Open your home to an animal in need. Fostering provides a loving, temporary environment while freeing up space at the shelter. Have you ever thought, “I love kittens!” or “I want to help a shelter dog?” Then fostering might be perfect for you!
The Lewis Clark Animal Shelter has a growing kitten foster program and is always looking for caring individuals to join. Fostering is like babysitting for shelter animals—providing a safe, loving temporary home for kittens, puppies, or dogs who need short-term care.
What You’ll Need:
- A little time
- A small space
- A big heart to care for these special animals
What You’ll Do
Care for kittens, puppies, or shelter dogs for a few days or weeks. Kitten fosters even get to name their furry little guests!
What We Provide
LCAS will supply everything you need—food, litter, toys, and support!
