Whether it's helping with our shelter dogs and cats , adoption counseling, humane education, animal behavior, animal assisted therapy or general office support, The San Francisco SPCA has a volunteer opportunity that's just right for you! Your help in the shelter, out in the neighborhoods, or in your own home can make a world of difference for the animals. For many years now, the cats and dogs of The SF/SPCA have come to depend on the warmth and service of our volunteers.
