Volunteer with JPAWS
Volunteering is a great way for you to support the Jefferson Protection & Animal Welfare Services, and we appreciate all that our volunteers do for our community and its animals!
For additional information or if you have questions please email JPAWS directly at JPAnimalShelter@jeffparish.net and they will have a staff member or volunteer reach out to you. If you would like to fill out a volunteer application with JPAWS, you can find that here.
There are lots of ways to help our pets:
-

And more!
