BC SPCA - Salt Spring Island
Volunteer Opportunities - Salt Spring Island
Community Initiatives - Dog Daycare Attendant
From May Long Weekend through Labour Day, the BC SPCA Salt Spring Island attends the Saturday Market in Centennial Park by putting on a doggy daycare service.
With dogs not being permitted in the market area, the BC SPCA provides a fenced-in area where volunteers and leashed dogs interact and play together.
A dog handler is someone who is experienced and comfortable handling a leashed dog that has been pre-screened and logged in (similar to a coat-check service) by a senior volunteer or staff member. Dogs are given one-on-one attention. We try not to intake more dogs than volunteers, however, we do offer dogs who are familiar with crating a chance to be crated (until a volunteer becomes available).
Animal Fostering - Foster Care Volunteer
Foster Care volunteers are guardian angels to thousands of BC SPCA animals in need. Whether an animal is injured, abandoned, or underage, foster care saves lives. Many animals needing remediation or a space to stay if the shelter is full benefit from a foster home.
