An organization like the Placer SPCA is only as good as our volunteers - and our volunteers are the best!  With the dedicated assistance of our volunteers, the Placer SPCA is able to maintain high quality care of the animals and continue its life saving work through innovative programs and services to the community. If you love animals and would like to make a difference in their lives, we would love for you to join our team of dedicated volunteers.

We accept volunteers over the age of 18 and ask for a commitment of 4 hours of volunteer service per month for at least 6 months.  Those ages 13 through 17 may be accepted into our Junior Volunteer Program, which requires the complete participation of the parent/guardian.  The parent/guardian must be responsible for the supervision of the junior in the orientation process, all training sessions and volunteer service. 

For children under the age of 13, please check the “Education" section of our website for information on our Youth for Animals Club, Humane Kids Camp, scout/school programs and community service opportunities.
