Wags Club
As a member of Wags Club, you’ll walk, feed, and play with pups while they patiently wait to be adopted. The time you spend with them, socializing and exercising, will enrich their lives and prepare them for adoption. You’ll help the dogs adjust from their previous lives at the shelter and give them the love and attention they deserve.

Transportation
Every week, the Wags & Walks team visits high-kill shelters in and around Los Angeles. We often need help transferring multiple dogs from the shelter and to and from our vets. If you join our transportation team, you will be the reason some of our pups with medical needs will get the care they deserve!

Events & Fundraising
Wags & Walks hosts and participates in events throughout the year, including adoption events, puppy yoga, happy hours, puppy parties, and more! As an Events Volunteer, you’ll represent Wags & Walks, talk with potential adopters, and spread the word about our work.
Wags Kids!
As a family-friendly rescue, Wags & Walks encourages and allows children to get involved with their parents. We welcome parents to volunteer with children at a 1:1 ratio while teens ages 16+ are invited to volunteer on their own after attending an orientation with a parent.
Volunteer Stories
“I volunteer at W&W because I can contribute to saving lives in a variety of ways and have a blast while doing it. When I can create a moment in any dog’s day where they feel safe, loved, and grateful it fills my heart.”
— Megan Biging
“I’ve been volunteering at Wags and Walks for about a year. Every time I feel overwhelmed with something at work or like I’m hitting a wall on something, I do a dog transport be it to/from a vet or a ride to freedom — it always makes me feel better. We think we are doing something for the dogs, but really they are doing something for us.”
— Bobbie Gala
“After my dog passed away I wasn’t ready for another but I needed some dog love in my life. Volunteering at Wags has given me that and more. Dog love, human love, and my new dog baby is a Wags alum.”
— Erika Godfrey
