Thank you so much for your interest in engaging your employees in animal welfare with the SPCA of Texas. Like many organizations, recruiting and maintaining a full staff has been a challenge. These staffing challenges limit our opportunities to take animals off site Monday through Friday, as our first priority is to provide care for the animals across our facilities. With fewer volunteers during the traditional work week to offset staffing shortfalls, we unfortunately don’t have enough handlers to transport and oversee animal off site activities during the week. This means we are unable to do puppy parties, kitten parties, etc.
We do have opportunities to have off site volunteers prepare enrichment items for the animals in our care. These are small activities that animals receive inside their kennels to provide mental stimulation (and snacks). Preparing the enrichment activities can be a fun, hands-on activity for your team. Would this be something that would be of interest?
Additionally, we do have in person group volunteer experiences available at our SPCA of Texas Dallas Animal Care Center, located at I-30 and Hampton. These are typically offered on Fridays and Sundays. Please visit our Group Experiences page for more information.
