Animal-Friendly Cosmetic Purchases Can Help LAP. An Independent Consultant with Arbonne International, a Swiss skin care company, has agreed to donate all the profits to LAP from the purchases made through this Web site. Arbonne products are not tested on animals, do not contain any animal products or byproducts, and are vegan certified. If you would like more information about these products, or would like to place an order to support the LAP, please email Jan Hendrickson at: janhendrickson@myarbonne.com. We appreciate your support!
Local Web Site for Animal Lovers A Web site for animal lovers, pets.roanoke.com , is a great local resource for up-to-date news and information. Pet owners can post photos, find pet-related articles and other content. Check it out!
If you are interested in a dog or cat on our Pet List, you may request additional information by email or by phone. We do require that you visit the shelter and fill out an
adoption application form. If an adoption is approved, we will deliver the pet to your home. We do ask that potential adopters live within a 50 mile radius of our shelter as
we do stand firm on home delivery and a home visit after placement.
Adoption Fees: Dogs/Pups, spayed/neutered and current on vaccines - $90
Pups*, current on vaccines and worming - $50
Cats/Kittens, spayed/neutered, current on vaccines and tested for feline diseases- $65
Kittens*, current on vaccines, worming and tested for feline diseases - $50
*Spay/neuter will be required by the new owner on or before the pup or kitten reaches the age of six months
Who We Are
League for Animal Protection (LAP) is a non-profit, no-kill shelter in the Roanoke Valley. LAP was formed in 1991 by a group of concerned citizens in response to an especially cruel situation in which 40 pets were deliberately trapped in an abandoned house and left to die. Our volunteers and supporters help rescue abandoned dogs and cats, giving them medical treatment, shelter and care until they can be given a second chance in a new home. To date, LAP has helped find new, loving homes for more than 2,000 pets. LAP services are funded by private donations, membership fees and fundraising events.
How You Can Help
There are several ways you can get involved with LAP. Call us and we can give you more information. Better yet, come visit! You can see for yourself what a wonderful place this is for the animals and what a great feeling you can get by helping.
1. Adopt an animal. Include LAP on your list of places to look for your next adopted dog or cat. You can come for a no-pressure visit, play with the animals and ask the volunteers for input based on your particular wants and needs. Please keep in mind that because these animals have often been in abusive or difficult situations, we must be firm about our adoption guidelines, which may be more detailed than other adoption facilities.
2. Volunteer your time. If you are an adult searching for rewarding volunteer work, LAP is a great place to pitch in! (and the dogs will love it if you can pitch a ball, too!) The shifts are short (8-11 am and 3:00-5 pm) and you can choose weekly or monthly time slots.
Most of the cleaning is done during the morning shift and both shifts are responsible for feeding. The work is somewhat strenuous and dependability is very important. If you want an opportunity to help animals, meet great people and fall in love with a new face, please give us a call.
3. Make a donation. Your donation will help LAP make a difference in the lives of abandoned and mistreated animals.
4. Sponsor an animal. Not ready for another pet? If you can’t have a pet, or another pet, just now, for whatever reason, you can still provide for the shelter and care of an animal in need. Please consider sponsoring a LAP cat or dog for $30 per month.
