Lend a Paw

Do you have a soft spot for animals in need? Have experience taking care of kittens or special needs pets? There are countless ways you can help the vulnerable animals in Lakewood.

CCLAS & Shelter Volunteer Opportunities

At this time, the Lakewood Animal Shelter does not have a volunteer program. But they welcome community members to stop by the shelter anytime during adoption hours to walk, play, and socialize with the animals. For shelter volunteer inquiries, please contact the shelter directly at 216.529.5020 or animalshelter@lakewoodoh.net.

Become a foster

During primarily the spring and summer months, CCLAS works with Lakewood Animal Control Officers to provide support for cats and kittens in foster homes when they are newly born, ill, or in need of special attention. If you have room in your home and heart for a litter, please email animalshelter@lakewoodoh.net or contact the shelter directly at 216.529.5020.
