Volunteer Opportunity Details:

Provide direct care to the animals at the NHSPCA. Our dogs, cats and small animals benefit greatly from the assistance and nurturing they receive from our volunteers. These positions entail cleaning, feeding, and socializing with the animals, as well as restocking supplies and laundry. Dog care includes taking each dog for a 10 minute walk outside. Help us continue to place animals in the community by giving your time to them while they are at the NHSPCA.
Direct animal care happens seven days a week, 365 days a year during the following set times:

Monday - Sunday 8:00-10:00am and 2:00-4:00pm
(except for cat care which is done by our Junior Volunteer Program; see our "Teach kids humanity towards animals" listing to see how you can participate in this program).

Tuesday and Thursday there is an additional dog walking shift from 5:00-7:00pm.
