Please see below for ways you can help VOSPCA pets.

🤔How can I help? What does Valley Oak SPCA need the most right now?

👉Dry and wet puppy food: We prefer Purina One Puppy food or Iams.
👉Cat food: We feed our cats Nutra-Nugget cat food from Costco. There is a good supply there; if anyone is at Costco and wants to grab a bag for us we would be extremely grateful. Our kittens eat Purina Kitten Chow dry food and our cats love Friskies Pate wet food.
👉Dog and puppy toys and treats! We go through toys like crazy! We have many dogs who can only have TOUGH toys, we can always use more! All of our canines get a snack before bed too! (No rawhide bones)
👉Kitten bottles, human baby bottles for puppies (the small MAM brand from target is great), puppy pee pads, heating pads, soft baby blankets, KMR kitten formula and puppy formula are very much appreciated.
👉Blankets and comforters - Especially during winter! 👉Monetary donations (more posts on this to come).

👉How does the dog walking program work?

🐾Our dog walking program is called Steps4Pets and here are our current rules.
🐾Dog walkers can come 7 days a week between 8:30am-11:30am and 1:30pm-4pm.
🐾Staff typically go to lunch between 11:30am-1:30pm and this is doggie nap time so please avoid this time-frame.
🐾Dog walkers are not paid… except with wet kisses, furry hugs and the joy & health of exercise for you and a pet!
🐾You do not have to call before you come (we are short-staffed and don’t have someone answering phones when we are not open).
🐾You do not have to go through volunteer orientation to walk a dog.
🐾You need to sign a waiver before walking.
🐾Children 6th grade - 8th need to have a parent/guardian walking with them. Teens that are freshman and above can come without parent/guardian. In order to keep all families and our dogs safe, we are asking that no small children, including children in strollers, are brought to walk dogs. We need both hands free in order to hold the leash properly (babies in backpacks are ok).
🐾 Good walking shoes are required.

🤔How do Adoptions and Fostering work?

💓Adopters: please look through the available animals on our website http://www.vospca.org/adoption 💓We do not offer “walk throughs” of our kennels. 💓All of our adoptions are done by appointments; walk-ins are welcome upon availability. You can schedule an adoption appointment through our website. https://www.vospca.org/appointments You will be required to submit a completed adoption application when booking an appointment. You can print an application here: http://www.vospca.org/read-me  (We have apps available onsite as well).
💓For dog appointments, if you have any current dogs in the home, please bring them with you to the adoption appointment. 💓We recommend all persons in the household attend the adoption appointment.
💓DOG appointment: We will bring the approved dog of your choice out to our lobby for a meet-n-greet. CAT appointment: We will escort you back to where our cats are housed to do a meet-n-greet.
💓Our staff tries their very best to match make families with the pet that will fit best in your household. Please keep in mind that animal you may be initially interested in, might not be the best fit for what you’re looking for. Adoptions are processed to approved applications only. Our staff has the right to deny any application at any time if they feel that it does not meet our requirements and expectations.

Fosters: If you are applying to foster please fill out and submit the form here: http://www.vospca.org/foster
💓Please wait until you are contacted before coming to the Adoption Center.
💓Pets are fostered out according to priority: seniors, injured, sick and orphans have the greatest needs.
💓We provide supplies and all medical care for foster parents. However, you are welcome to purchase your own supplies to prevent depletion of our stock.
