Help Lake Haven Help Animals...

Volunteer!

Lake Haven is run by the kindness, hard work and dedication of its nearly 100 volunteers.  Volunteering is a great way to earn class credit, add a skill to your resume, build character and give back to the community.  We are always looking for the right volunteers to perform a variety of tasks.  Volunteers must be 18 years of age or older.  If you are under 18, your parent or guardian must volunteer with you. 

      

Volunteering opportunities are available in the following areas:  In Newaygo

Grandville PetSmart

  • Laundry (job description!)

  • Saturday Adoption Days assistance (designated Saturdays at the Grandville PetSmart - primarily dogs) (job description!)

  • Cat Care (cleaning cages/feeding/t.l.c./adoption assistance – weeknights/weekends at the Grandville PetSmart) (job description!)

Various Opportunities Throughout Service Area

  • Animal transport (job description!)

  • Temporary foster care - CATS and/or DOGS (in your home) (job description!)

  • Fostering Puppies – If you’re willing to foster a few puppies we can use your help. We have many work-at-home moms who foster for the experience it gives their kids. If you would like to help in this area you can read more on our Fostering Responsibilities for Puppies page.

Support No-Kill Animal Shelters  Lake Haven believes that the "No-Kill" approach to ending the unnecessary killing of dogs and cats is a sound approach. Unfortunately, most people do not know that most of the largest animal support organization in this country ignore the successes of "No-Kill" shelters and continue to destroy adoptable animals. How is the money you donate being used by these organizations?
