Volunteer Opportunities

Join the Foster Fam!
We rely on families in our community to open up their homes to an animal in need and help get these animals adoption-ready. These foster fams allow us to have space available at the Lodge to take in more animals in need. There are some requirements you must pass in order to foster for us. We can provide all necessary items needed for our foster animal (such as cage, bedding, food) but we kindly ask that our foster homes be able to supply items that will need to be replenished over time (such as food, bedding).
Boarding Foster Homes: We offer pet sitting services for many small animals and this is dependent on if we have space available to board animals. We are looking for a few homes that will pet sit animals on an as-needed basis.

Cleaning+Cuddles Crew!
Lala’s Lodge is located in the Edgewood/Milton area and often has volunteers come out to help clean cages and socialize with the animals! But don't be fooled by the cuddles, there's still lots of work to do! There are some requirements you must pass in order to volunteer at our Lodge.  We will train anyone interested in volunteering with us. We know many children may be interested in spending time with the animals but we also want to make the best use of our time by ensuring that their care needs are met first. Click here to join our Cleaning+Cuddles Crew!
Taxi Team!
Lala’s Taxi Team helps transport animals all over our state. There are some requirements in order to be a driver for the babes. This position is mainly on-call and is helpful to us, as needed. Sometimes we get calls for emergency rescues and often depend on our Taxi Team to be flexible and be able to drive/meet us on short notice. We also have adoptions scheduled ahead of time that we ask our team to step in and help transport these animals to their forever home. Click here to join our Taxi Team!
Go-Go Groomers!
​There’s still quite some misinformation out there about grooming that small animals require. Although majority exotic mammals don’t need baths, they still need their nails trimmed and glands checked, etc. And grooming can be so expensive, especially when it’s mainly veterinary offices that will groom exotics. So we have a dedicated group of self-taught groomers that open up their homes to grooming for the public. All proceeds go directly to the rescue. There are some requirements to be in this position and we will train you as well but some experience is required. Click here to join our Go-Go Groomers!
