Pamper Shelter Dogs with SEAACA in the Grooming Room
SEAACA is looking for "dog people" who don't mind getting a little wet to help with animal hygiene. Volunteers in the grooming room provide the hands-on care needed to help dogs look and feel their best by providing refreshing baths and basic coat maintenance. They create a soothing environment for the animals, which helps reduce shelter stress and allows the dog's true personality to shine through. This behind-the-scenes work is a fundamental part of the adoption preparation process, giving every resident the "glow-up" they deserve before meeting their future family. Must be 18+
Support Daily Wellness with SEAACA as an Animal Care Assistant
SEAACA is seeking hardworking individuals to assist with the physical demands of shelter upkeep. Duties include food prep, cleaning, and basic animal handling under the guidance of staff. These volunteers handle the essential "behind-the-scenes" logistics that keep the facility running smoothly, including preparing specialized food for different species, managing the constant cycle of laundry, and filling clean litter boxes. They also assist with kennel cleaning and direct animal handling, ensuring that every resident has a sanitary and comfortable environment during their stay. This role is perfect for those who want to provide tangible, life-improving care for the animals through steady and reliable service. Must be 18+
Help Abandoned Rabbits At The Los Angeles Rabbit Foundation Shelter
Help abandoned rabbits by cleaning, socializing, and assisting at adoption venues and/or animal shelters.

Volunteers must be at least 12 years old with parents present, or over 16 if volunteering without a guardian.

Sponsor An Animal at The Gentle Barn
At The Gentle Barn, they save the lives of animals who are too old, sick, scared, or injured to be adopted, and who would otherwise be euthanized. They give the animals sanctuary with us, and when they are ready, partner with them to help people suffering from the same stories of trauma, and connect people to the love and magic of animals. The Gentle Barn is host to foster agencies, drug and alcohol rehab centers, war veteran centers, domestic violence shelters, homeless shelters, children’s hospitals, burn centers, and individuals suffering from depression, anxiety, and grief. The farm animals that reside at The Gentle Barn have all been rescued from severe abuse, neglect, abandonment or worse. They have been rehabilitated with traditional and non-traditional medicine, top quality nutrition, and countless hours in the arms of staff and volunteers. They have regained their trust in humankind by realizing that they are now loved, and their abuse is over. Because of their ongoing physical and psychological needs, they can't be adopted and are given sanctuary for the rest of their lives - and you can sponsor their journey.
