The Stone County SPCA is always in need of dependable volunteers to spend time with the animals, help at adoption events, and foster pets. It’s difficult for employees to give shelter pets the individual attention they need. Volunteers are encouraged to walk the dogs and play with the cats. Volunteers are also needed to help out at adoption events at PetSmart and Petco. Fostering a pet is another great way to help. Fostering gives a pet the attention it needs as it waits to get a permanent home. It also opens up shelter space for other animals in need. Fosters are especially needed for kittens and puppies, and senior pets.
