Currently our shelter is closed to the public and volunteers due to COVID 19 restrictions. Many of our animals have been placed in foster care. We do continue to receive more animals, mostly cats, and we are caring for them and adopting them out at our offsite locations. Our offsite adoption locations are: PetSmart South Hill at 4919 S Regal St PetSmart North at 9950 N Newport Hwy PetSmart Valley at 15615 E Broadway Ave Petco at 2805 E 29th Ave Kitty Cantina at 6704 N Nevada St, Ste 1 Call the store first to make sure there are kitties there and SpokAnimal staff to process your adoptions!!
With the shelter closed and adoptions taking place offsite, our need for volunteers has declined. There are some ways that you can help the animals as a volunteer. Please keep reading. Our clinic is open and all volunteer positions there have been filled. If you are a cat person we do have openings from time to time at our PetSmart adoption locations. These openings are for early morning cleaning and/or spending a few hours during the day at the store doing adoptions. Training will be provided. If you are interested in a position like this please contact our Volunteer Assistant at 509-534-8133 x 211. Foster homes are an essential part of our effort to save lives. We are always interested in meeting new foster parents. Kitten season is here and we will have pregnant cats, mama cats with kittens, kittens without mama, bottle babies, you name it. See our page on this website for more information on our foster care program. We will provide training for prospective foster parents. If you love cats this maybe a perfect way for you to help cats and kittens in need, please contact our Volunteer Assistant at 509-534-8133 x 211. Another opportunity at SpokAnimal is working in our Thrift Store. The store has been closed for over two months and there are many donations in need of sorting and organizing. We hope to re-open the Thrift Store soon and we will need volunteers to continue sorting, organizing, also interacting with the public and operating the cash register. If this is something you have always dreamed of doing, please contact our Volunteer Assistant at 509-534-8133 x 211. As always, we thank you for inquiring about volunteer needs and appreciate your understanding as we navigate these difficult times.
