Volunteer at the VBSPCA
Written by Teresa Lamarche

The Virginia Beach SPCA has hundreds of active volunteers who are critical to maintaining our programs and services. They foster orphaned kittens and puppies until they are old and strong enough to be adopted; provide pet therapy sessions to the elderly and sick; improve the reading skills of children using volunteer and animal teams as literary mentors; assist with special fundraising events and adopt-a-thons, the list goes on and on.

Every year, the VBSPCA takes in approximately 5,000 companion animals and 2,000 injured or orphaned wildlife. Twenty eight thousand children benefit from programs offered in the school systems and 18,000 people in nursing homes and other facilities enjoy the unconditional love of a furry friend. None of this would be possible without the members of our community who choose to share their time with us.

We celebrate all the volunteers who give back to charitable organizations that help all living creatures by giving of themselves and their valuable time. We are always ready to welcome new volunteers – come join us for one of our upcoming adult volunteer orientations:

February 17, 2011 – 6:15pm
