Volunteer

Donate Your Time

At the Maryland SPCA, we are proud to have the support of so many wonderful volunteers. Our dedicated volunteers make a commitment to help our organization by touching the lives of both pets and people every day. Their decision to put their concern for animal welfare into action by offering to donate time is such an important asset to the MD SPCA. We have many opportunities for volunteers at the MD SPCA, including our Foster Care program.

Please Note: SPCA volunteers must be 17 years of age or older, even if a parent can volunteer too.
