Langley Animal Protection Society (LAPS) is a registered non-profit charitable society established in 2003 by a dedicated group of volunteers. They were eager to see positive change in the way stray, lost and unwanted animals were sheltered and cared for in Langley. In order to uphold these founding member’s values, we continue to focus on providing excellence to the community and overcoming the challenges facing animals in Langley.
LAPS is a small organization that needs the support of our volunteer community. They need volunteers for:
- Dog Walker
- Kennel Assistant
- Community Events Team
- Cat Care Team
- Administrative Assistant
- Grounds/Shelter Maintenance

Volunteers greatly help with the life saving works at LAPS. Many of the animals need training, exercise, and medical care, in which the community is needed to make this happen.
