Hoping to become one?

Thank you so much for your interest in our volunteer program! Every animal shelter, humane society, and SPCA is different, so we have tailored our volunteer program to best suit the needs of our organization and the animals we serve.
Before you are able to handle the animals, we require that you attend a half-hour information session. The session covers basic information about the RHSPCA, logistics of the program, and humane training and handling techniques for animals.
You must apply before attending. The session will be held over Zoom.

JMU Students

If you're a JMU and you're interested in volunteering with the SPCA, there is a club on campus called Dukes for Dogs. By joining this club, you would have the opportunity to socialize our pets, take them off-site for adoption events, walk them around JMU, and participate in on-campus initiatives all to help improve the lives of our pets.
If interested in joining Dukes for Dogs, please email dukes4dogs.jmu@gmail.com. You can also subscribe to their newsletter below:
