We work to decrease pet overpopulation through community outreach and education.

Volunteers (Friends of the Animals)
The SPCA has more than 100 volunteers who are a vital part of our organization. There are many rewarding opportunities to choose from including: adoption counseling, foster parenting, rescue transport, critter companion/exerciser, bathing/grooming, humane education, adoption & spay/neuter follow-up, clerical work and fundraising events.
Future Plans
Valley Oak SPCA has embarked on a capital campaign to build a new Animal Shelter & Adoption Center to replace our current facility which is 50 years old. Follow our progress!
