Volunteer

The Johnston County Animal Protection League is a non-profit all volunteer 501(c)(3) nonprofit rescue organization. We depend on community support. Please help us help the animals of Johnston and surrounding counties by volunteering.

JCAPL is looking for dedicated volunteers in many areas. Consider fostering a needy cat or dog. If you are unable to foster, sponsor a foster pet. Join our Pet Outreach Program and deliver dog houses to needy dogs. Distribute newsletters and flyers. Download a JCAPL Volunteer Application or apply on line.
