​Volunteer 

Volunteering is a fulfilling and amazing way to give back to a community. There are a number of ways you can volunteer such as giving an animal a ride from the shelter, to and from a vet appointment, or to events. Offering to advocate for a dog at an adoption event or set up and run the cat area at an event are also hugely impactful options! Doing laundry, helping file paperwork, organize data, or answer emails - if you'd rather do something from the comfort of your home - are critical to operating the rescue. 

If you want to give back in a bigger way, we also have volunteer roles like Adoption Counselors, Surrender Counselors, Foster Counselors, and Event Managers that offer a longer term commitment and more hours, but with a flexible schedule!

Laila's Legacy is happy to sign off on any school or court mandated community service hours.

Volunteer Teams

These roles are always needed to grow our teams in adoptions, fosters, events, and surrender prevention! The schedule is what you make it but we estimate ~10 hours a week at minimum. All can be done from home, and are call or data based so can work around your schedule! 

Adoption

Counselor

Help a dog get adopted! You choose the animals you 'counsel' for, and see them through until they're adopted! You'll partner with adopters during the adoption process and act as a resource after they adopt. 

Foster

Counselor

Partner with interested fosters through the foster training and onboarding process. You'll remain a resource for questions, advice, or connect with staff as necessary to ensure a smooth fostering process!

Surrender

Prevention

Counselor

Partner with previous adopters as they navigate challenges that might cause them to return or rehome their dog. You'll work alongside (and be trained by) our Executive Director as you provide guidance to the families you support.

Adoption Event

Liaison

Run & support our weekly adoption events through mid-week coordination of dog & volunteers attending, picking up supplies from a local staff member, and managing the on site event from handlers to seeing dogs get adopted!

COORDINATOR & MANAGER ROLES

Everyone on our team - even our Founders & Directors - are volunteers. But even still, we have a small group of people that commit to a greater responsibility as a volunteer - of which we consider "staff". By becoming a Coordinator or Manager you'll be effectively joining this tight knit team! The time and longevity commitment is slightly greater but we'll be honest about what that looks like before you join! If you're interested, check out the Coordinator & Manager roles we're 'hiring' for below!
