Be a Volunteer at SPCA Selangor!




If you love animals so much, why not be a volunteer at SPCA Selangor!

The SPCA was established in 1958 to protect animals in Selangor and the Federal Territory. Today they have a wide range of activities all with one common aim: to protect animals and alleviate suffering. All of the following would not be possible without dedicated volunteers, these include:


  • animal home
  • public relations

  • fund raising

Volunteer duties to choose from:

  • kennel/cage cleaning- includes removing faeces, cleaning and disinfecting, relaying newspaper and providing fresh water

  • feeding-under instructions only

  • bathing-under instructions only

  • grooming- especially long haired animals, under instructions only

  • socialising- with either dogs or cats, sitting with, patting, walking getting to know animals and their habits and quirks

  • training- along with SPCA training sessions

  • kennel guide- assisting the public when choosing an animal, assessing the family who want to adopt and match the most suitable animal for their needs

  • general house keeping varies from washing windows, mopping floors to grass cutting or dusting counters and arranging leaflets

Volunteers under 18 years old must have parental/guardian permission to volunteer.
Shelter volunteers are under the direction of SPCA staff- all volunteers will be assigned to a member of staff to work with for that day.

You can also help SPCA by doing fundraising or Public relations ( designing, manning booths , SPCA group guide, or giving information talks ).

To volunteer, you have to give your name, age, address, home telephone number, hand phone number and your email address.

To know more, you can go to this centre which is called SPCA Selangor, at Jalan Kerja Ayer Lama, Ampang Jaya, 68000 Ampang, Selangor.
Tel: 03 42565312 or 03 42535179
Fax: 03 4252 8382
Email: spca@streamyx.com

SPCA needs our help as they receive no government funding and relies solely on generous donation from the public. Each year they need approx. RM 500 000 to maintain the animal home.

There is always something we can do to help them, everything is valuable, no help is too small!

" We hope you can enjoy volunteering with SPCA; every one at SPCA whether we have 2 legs or 4, warmly welcomes you! "
