Potential Volunteer Projects
Our needs vary by site and time of year. Common needs include but are not limited to:
- Groundskeeping/yardwork
- Doody duties (dog pens, muck stalls, paddocks)
- Housekeeping/organization
- Painting
- Treat/toy-making
- Scanning/filing
- Carpentry (build/repair fences, structures) *Requires appropriate tools and experience.*
- Build winter cat shelters — *Donor must provide tools and materials.*
Please note that most corporate volunteer experiences will focus on support chores rather than direct animal handling, such as dog walking. We will make every effort to incorporate a meet & greet session with an adoptable animal during your volunteer event.
Donations
We depend on your generosity to further our mission. MSPCA requests donations from corporate and for-profit groups to offset the cost of the volunteer experience and to support our important work. Donations are generally based on group size and the complexity of the project, and are fully tax-deductible.
