How to Get Involved
The Medina County SPCA needs you! With our independent status, we are dependent on donations and fundraising to sustain operations. Governed by a volunteer Board of Directors, we face the daily challenge of providing care, rehabilitation and prosecution of animal cruelty primarily through the use of volunteers who supplement a very modest staff. Because nearly every animal that enters our facility requires some level of medical care, the annual veterinary and general care expenditure is tremendous!
How can you help? You can…

Monetary donations are appreciated and vital to the long term health of the animals and Medina County SPCA. Donations can be made in person, through the mail or online (click here to donate now).

Get involved with an SPCA event
Throughout the year, we coordinate many fundraisers and benefits to promote awareness and generate much needed revenue for the organization. You can help by attending these events or simply donating time or money. The best part is that everyone has some fun while at the same time positively impacting a great cause.
