Volunteers!

We Need More Volunteers!

Our volunteers help hundreds of animals find loving homes! They’re involved in our foster care program, off-site adoption events, and they assisting potential adopters find the perfect pet companion at the Peninsula SPCA.

There are only 2 steps to follow to become a volunteer, so please sign up today!

Step 1:

Please read our volunteer requirements:

All volunteers must be 16 years of age or older to work at the SPCA. In order for our Dog Squad & Photographer volunteers to handle our dogs they must by at least 20 years old and complete our animal handling class. We have opportunities for parent and child volunteer teams, the child must be a minimum 13 years of age and accompanied by a legal guardian.

New Volunteer Fees:
1. $25 fee for individuals
2. $20 fee for students & military
3. $35 fee for parent & child teams

Volunteers’ fee is non-refundable fee (cash, Visa, MasterCard, Discover, American Express) to help us offset the cost of volunteer shirts, nametags, and training. Volunteers must be able to commit at least 4 hours per month. We encourage volunteers to have an up-to-date tetanus vaccination, although it is not required.

Step 2:

If you meet our volunteer requirements, then download and return our volunteer application to Ellen Leckar. Once your volunteer application has been approved, Ellen will schedule you for a volunteer orientation and tour of the Peninsula SPCA. At the volunteer orientation, Ellen will get to know you and help you to match your interests and abilities to one of our volunteer teams.
