The SPCA of Texas is currently open to Court Ordered Community Service (CCS) volunteers at both our Dallas (2400 Lone Star Dr., Dallas, TX 75212) and Ellis (2570 Farm to Market Rd 878, Waxahachie, TX 75165) locations. CCS volunteers must be a minimum of 10 years old and will exclusively perform non-animal handling tasks. For volunteers under 15, participation alongside a parent or guardian, aged 18 or older, is required, and we only offer service at our Dallas location. Our Ellis County Animal Care Center requires all volunteers to be at least 18 years of age or older.
Given our work with a vulnerable population, we can only accept individuals with non-violent offenses such as basic traffic violations, DWI, minor possession of alcohol, and select minor drug-related charges (evaluated on a case-by-case basis).
For Court Appointed Community Service volunteers, there is a required $35 volunteer fee to cover the associated costs of initiating a new volunteer (including background checks, volunteer insurance, etc.). Additionally, all CCS volunteers must undergo a non-refundable background check before commencing their service.

Mission Statement
The SPCA of Texas is dedicated to providing every animal exceptional care and a loving home.
Description
The SPCA of Texas is the leading animal welfare agency in North Texas. We operate two animal shelters, located near downtown Dallas and in McKinney, which, together with our community partners for offsite adoptions, find homes for more than 6,000 animals each year. We do not euthanize animals for lack of space and we do not place time limits on animals housed in our shelters. We also operate public veterinary clinics in West Dallas, South Oak Cliff and McKinney to provide high-quality pet care at affordable prices and we collaborate with community partners to spay or neuter tens of thousands of animals each year.
In a typical year, our five-member Rescue and Investigations team responds to 2,000 calls and rescues more than 1,000 abandoned or cruelly treated animals in 8 North Texas counties. Our education and outreach programs reach more than 20,000 Texans each year with a message of compassion and responsibility.
Our independent non-profit organization is not affiliated with the ASPCA or any other humane society and we do not receive taxpayer funding. Your support helps us make life better for more than 50,000 animals and the people who love them - right here in our community.
