The Roanoke Valley SPCA's Visiting Pets program is a great opportunity to get involved in your community! Our Visiting Pets volunteers travel to Senior Care Centers around the Roanoke region with our Canine Ambassadors. The residents love the opportunity to snuggle a sweet pup and meet our awesome and outgoing volunteers!
We have regularly scheduled monthly visits, and occasional special event dates as well. The regularly scheduled visits are:
- Independent Living facility on the 2nd Wednesday of the month from 1:00pm-3:30pm
- Adult Medical Daycare on the 3rd Tuesday of the month from 1:00pm-3:30pm
- Assisted living facility on the 3rd Wednesday of the month from 1:00pm-3:30pm
- Physical Rehab center on the 4th Wednesday of the month from 1:00pm-3:30pm
