Big Wishes for Volunteer Helpers

Calling all volunteers with special skills to help when they have extra time on their hands! For instance, we could use help fixing our (mostly) outdated computers and printers. And, we’d like to train friendly folks who have time during the work week to help show our wonderful pets in the community when aboard our Mobile Adoption Center (MAC). Let us know if you have some time, like to meet people and share “pet talk,” a love of dogs and cats and would like to volunteer at the Tulsa SPCA!

WE NEED PAWS FOR (BIG and Small) PET PROJECTS!

Our shelter building was dedicated in 1948, so we’re based in a building almost 65 years old that requires lots of maintenance!

Additionally, we’ve outgrown our newer veterinary clinic building and find we’re continuously adapting and remodeling.

Finally, we’ve purchased land adjacent to our current site with the dream of building a new shelter as funding allows and that land needs lots of attention.

So, we have small wishes and big projects to help us in all aspects of our shelter operations including daily care of pets, a steady influx of moms and puppies/kittens, surgeries and recovery of injured and abused animals, ongoing programs such as cruelty investigations, events, community outreach through low cost operations, and administration.
