Rescue 101 Mentorship Program

At Lala’s, we want to be able to assist our fellow rescues, those interested in being a rescue, or maybe those who already take in rescue animals independently. And many people don’t know where to start or what standards to set. What should the adoption process look like? What are ways we can ensure the health and safety of the rescue animals we take in? How are we to budget as a rescuer? So we have formed our rescue mentorship program where we help provide useful tips and things to think about when entering the rescue world.
Our founder, Lala herself, often does consultations, financial coordinating, and sits on the board of a few other rescues. To name a few Lala has mentored: The Hare BnB Rescue Spa & Boutique, Federal Way Fish & Reptile Rescue, Munchie’s Place for Homeless Pets.
