Volunteer / Foster
Volunteer:
Attention all volunteer-minded citizens. Lancaster SPCA rescue animals need your help. Several opportunities exist for volunteers to work primarily with puppies and dogs, other volunteers, and the public. The following is a list of some of these opportunities.
Community Service Program – LSPCA community service program helps volunteers meet requirements set for them through schools, scout troops, district court and other organizations. We often need experienced bottle-feeders, assistance with transport of animals to veterinary appointments, dog-house builders, fund-raisers, donation drives, T-shirt designers and other various tasks.
Adoption counselors – You can assist the LSPCA Adoption Coordinator as needed at adoption events or from the comfort of your own home. Current adoption counselors will teach you the procedures for dog adoptions.
Adoption events – We hold adoption events at various locations throughout the year.You can contribute to their success by volunteering in any of these ways:
-
Set up and tear down at events
-
Transport animals and supplies to and from events
-
Greet visitors and provide information about LSPCA
-
Concession sales
-
Help visitors meet and select pets
-
Walk dogs or hold kittens during adoption events
While attendance during the entire event is encouraged, you can still help out if only available during a transport, setting up, or by tearing down afterwards.
