Volunteer Program
Our traditional Volunteer Program is for those looking for a long-term commitment and encompasses a wide variety of volunteer opportunities. We are always in need of volunteers to provide hands-on care to the animals, ensuring that the shelter living environment remains safe, clean and as comfortable as possible. Additional opportunities include assisting with office tasks, helping in the retail area, data entry, as well as helping with special events. The opportunities are endless! You will be asked to select your animal preference the day of your orientation. Available options for this are Barn, Cat, Dog, and Small Animal.
Community Service Program
We are happy to work with local high school or college students seeking community service opportunities for National Honor Society or similar groups. With certain restrictions, we may allow individuals to fulfill court-ordered community service hours. We are able to offer some of the following tasks for community service projects:
• doing laundry/dishes
• office tasks such as filing, copying, etc.
• sorting donations
• general cleaning
Internships
Internships to fulfill school requirements may be offered on a case by case basis. All internships are unpaid. Please note, internships in our surgical area are limited to those who are 18+ and in a veterinary school program. For more information and to apply, please email your resume to nevinsvolunteer@mspca.org. Please include why you are seeking an internship, as well as any relevant experience or qualifications.
