Volunteers

We are grateful to all those who wish to volunteer at LAWS. For insurance and safety reasons, all volunteers at our shelter MUST be at least 16 years of age. Minors may attend the shelter so long as they are accompanied by an adult during their entire visit.
If you are interested in volunteering at LAWS, please download our volunteer application form (here). We require all application forms to be completed fully for proper processing. The completed form should then be either emailed to us, faxed to 283-0982, mailed to PO Box Box 156 Smiths Falls, ON K7A 4T1, or dropped off at the shelter. Our volunteer coordinator will contact you when volunteer opportunities become available.

Garage Sale Volunteers
Have you thought about helping out at LAWS but didn’t know quite what to do? Have you wanted to help but weren’t quite sure about actually working with the animals. Well here is your chance to help them in a much needed way. We are looking for strong, energetic, volunteers to help about 5 days a month to sort, price and volunteer on sale day. If you can help out please contact our Yard Sale coordinator Steve Schultz at 613-283-7326.

Foster Homes for Kittens
Several pregnant cats, kittens and nursing felines have arrived at the shelter. Sadly, some of these kittens have come in without their mothers. For our wish list this week, we desperately need powdered kitten formula, canned kitten food and non-clumping kitty litter. We still need foster homes for these cats and kittens as their tiny immune systems are weak and they are susceptible to disease at the shelter. If you are able to care for these cats and kittens, for even a short period, we would love to hear from you 283-9308.

Cat Cuddlers and Dog Walkers Needed
Do you have some spare time and enjoy the company of cats or dogs? Our residents would love to meet you and spend some time cuddling or going for a walk. If you're interested, please contact us at (613) 283-9308 or visit our shelter on Glenview Road.
