Volunteers are essential to the operation of our shelter. The number of animals housed at our facility far exceed the capacity of our full time staff. Your volunteer service is needed and appreciated.
Volunteer Orientation meetings are usually held the second Saturday of every month at the York County SPCA facility, The Brougher Companion Animal Shelter. We expect that volunteers can contribute a minimum of 50 hours per year. The Orientation Meeting is required so that volunteers can learn the safety procedures and operating policies of the shelter. The following are dates for upcoming orientation meetings:
The orientation meeting scheduled for July 12 is cancelled.
Saturday, August 9 @ 10:30 AM
Saturday, September 13 @ 10:30 AM
Saturday, October 11 @ 10:30 AM
Volunteers are required to purchase a volunteer t-shirt ($7.00) and name badge ($7.00). We can find a job that satisfies your skills and your interests. Volunteers must be at least 18 years old to work with the animals.
