VISIT & VOLUNTEER
There are no drop-in activities at the Lethbridge Animal Shelter. Animal visiting and volunteer times must be scheduled.
Animal visiting & dog walking
Use the button below to book an available time slot for visiting. During your visit, you can take adoptable dogs for walks around the shelter property, or play with and socialize cats in our visiting space. These scheduled visiting hours help provide the shelter animals with valuable enrichment and exercise opportunities.
Managing the number of visitors at the shelter significantly reduces stress levels for the animals in the facility. Visitors must be comfortable and capable of handling and controlling cats and dogs when they attend the shelter. Visitors must be 18 years of age or older, or accompanied by a guardian.

Volunteer work experience
This program is intended for individuals needing to complete specific volunteer hours for school or community organizations. Volunteer work activities will include socializing with cats and dogs, providing enrichment through walks and play, and assisting staff with daily cleaning, feeding, and basic care. The volunteer work experience allows you to participate in the day-to-day operations of the shelter's Animal Care Team with guidance and supervision. Staff will provide verification of your hours and an assessment of your work. As this program requires supervision from staff, participation spots are limited.
