Please start by watching this video: Take a peek at PHS/SPCA and see how you can get involved.

Reminders (please review before completing an application):

  • We do not offer one-time or short term volunteer opportunities.
  • Review our current volunteer opportunities below - these are the only roles we currently have available. If a position or shift is not listed that means that role or shift is currently full.
  • Review Essential Capabilities of PHS/SPCA Volunteers
  • Once you submit your application you will receive an auto-generated email with follow-up instructions. It may end up in spam. Please keep in mind that we do not have a waiting list for specific positions, and we will not reach out to applicants individually unless there is a specific immediate need.
  • Are you a current volunteer or foster, hoping to add on another volunteer role? Please reach out to volunteers@phs-spca.org.
  • Are you a past volunteer or foster interested in returning?  Please reach out to volunteers@phs-spca.org.
  • Need to complete court ordered community service hours? This application is not for our Volunteer Express program. If you are assigned hours through the courts, please email volunteers@phs-spca.org to check on program availability.
