ABOUT LASS

 

In 2013, two Sun City residents, Susan White and Janine Gross, decided to take a few bags of cat food to the Lancaster County Animal Shelter. The women were dismayed to see the conditions there and immediately started recruiting friends to help furnish food and supplies, and to do hands-on volunteering at the shelter. Their group, PAWS Rescue Helpers, was the beginning of LASS—Lancaster Animal Shelter Supporters. 
 

Fast forward to 2019 and LASS now has over 150 members, both within and outside Sun City. But more active participants are needed… for both hands-on and behind the scenes volunteering. Assistance with fundraising is essential. Last year, LASS raised more than $30,000 for supplies and medical care to benefit the shelter’s animals.

Advocacy by LASS was pivotal in the recent decision by County Council to construct a new $3 million animal shelter in Lancaster County. Construction began in May, 2019.  The bright, clean new shelter will provide expanded fundraising and volunteer opportunities for LASS members. Please join us!
