How To Become A Volunteer
First, submit your application and complete your online orientation! During orientation, you’ll learn more about our volunteer programs and all the different ways that you can get involved. Please note that while many of our volunteer opportunities involve proximity to animals, you are NOT required to handle animals in order to volunteer with us.
We accept volunteer applications from community members aged 12 years and up. Ages 12-17 MUST have a guardian’s signed consent, and ages 12-15 MUST ADDITIONALLY be accompanied by a guardian at all times while volunteering.
Court-Ordered Community Service
If you are interested in completing court-ordered community service hours with us please call 504.368.5191.
Group Volunteers
While most of our volunteer opportunities are ideal for individual volunteers, we do accept large groups of volunteers for service days! The ideal group size is no more than 10-15 people for 2 hours. All group members under the age of 18 must be accompanied by an adult.
Sample projects for group volunteers include landscaping, prepping toys for our enrichment program, event assistance and administrative and animal care support. Rest assured that your group will have dedicated time to play with our adoptable animals!
Please note there is a minimum $100 donation request for all volunteer groups. To sign up to volunteer as a group please email volunteer@laspca.org.
The Louisiana SPCA helped more than 3,000 animals find their forever home in 2020.
Many thanks and tail wags to our partners!
