Volunteers are at the heart of what RSPCA NSW does. Year after year, these generous individuals spend thousands of hours helping people and pets, providing love and care at our facilities, raising awareness in their local communities, and assisting in various roles across numerous departments. Â
Every volunteer plays a crucial role in our success. Simply put, our impact wouldn’t be the same without our network of volunteers. Â
Consider the many volunteering opportunities on offer at RSPCA NSW. With your assistance, we can change the lives of the people and animals seeking support.
If you are unable to visit our shelters or assist at our events, there are still so many ways you can help us protect and care for animals. Â
If volunteering from home is more your style, we support volunteers looking for flexibility while receiving training and ongoing support. Make a difference from your own space as a volunteer at home! Â
If you’d like to open your heart to an adorable animal companion, we can help you find your new best friend at one of our shelters and adoption centres. RSPCA NSW rehomes a range of adorable animals, including cats, dogs, birds, rabbits, guinea pigs, and more! We can help you find a forever friend at any one of our facilities. You can also adopt some of our animals through our partnership with Petbarn.   Â
Becoming a foster carer is another rewarding way to help our animals. If you’re unsure about adopting but looking to personally assist our animals, become a foster carer to help give our animals the love and attention they deserve! Â
If you are unsure about adopting or becoming a foster carer, you can still donate to provide essential care to animals seeking their forever home. As a charity, we rely on a generous network of donors and supporters to provide any training, treatment, supplies, and rehabilitation our animals may require. Your contribution, no matter how small, can provide our animals with ongoing support, giving them a better chance at enjoying a good quality of life. Â
