Volunteer

If you are interested in fostering and/or transporting animals to the vet or APL appointments, please contact the Animal Shelter at (216) 529-5020 or animalshelter@lakewoodoh.net. Lakewood Animal Shelter volunteers must have a police background check performed prior to working at the shelter.
