Looking for group opportunities? Availability of on-property tasks for groups is limited. School groups and civic organizations are instead encouraged to hold a supply drive at their location benefiting our Community Outreach pet food pantry. These are hugely helpful! Our most common needs are wet and dry cat food, wet and dry dog food, dog and cat toys, and cat litter. If your corporate group is interested in a one day on-property group volunteer opportunity in exchange for a monetary donation to MSPCA-Angell, please visit our Corporate Volunteer Program page for more information.
Are you a Veterinarian? We need Veterinarians to volunteer at our Spay/Neuter Clinic. A current Massachusetts veterinary license is required. Interested in learning more? Email nevinsvolunteer@mspca.org.
