Volunteer At Sea with Sea Shepherd Conservation Society
Sea Shepherd Conservation Society needs people who are compelled to fight the injustices perpetrated upon whales, dolphins, seals, sea turtles, sea birds, fish, and every living thing in the world’s oceans. They need such people on their ship and in the ranks of our supporters. They are looking for navigators, sailors, engineers, electricians, carpenters, welders, cooks, medics or nurses, small boat operators, photographers, videographers, electronics technicians, radio and antenna technicians, and even a few unskilled but dedicated Ocean Defenders. Volunteering means dedicating usually at least a month out at sea while pulling destructive longlines from the ocean, saving ocean wildlife, educating future generations, & making good friends. The objective is to protect and save ocean wildlife and to uphold International Conservation Law. For more information, check out their website

Foster a Labrador with Southern California Labrador Retriever Rescue
Please consider opening your home to a Lab in need with the Southern California Labrador Retriever Rescue! Fostering is important, fun and a great way to help out at no cost to you. SCLRR will provide veterinary care, food, and equipment for your foster dog.

If you live in Los Angeles, Orange, or Ventura County, in a coastal community of Santa Barbara County between Goleta and the Ventura County line, or in the southwestern corner of San Bernardino County in Upland, Chino, Chino Hills, Rancho Cucamonga, Victorville, Apple Valley or Hesperia, consider becoming a Lab Rescue foster parent!
