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).

Are you looking to get involved in your community in a big way? The BC SPCA is looking for volunteers to help organize and staff events, or undertake fundraising initiatives to raise funds for our animal residents. As a non-profit animal welfare organization, we rely almost solely on donor funding, and fundraising volunteers make that possible! Fundraising is a rewarding way to help animals from outside of the shelter.

**Attention**: At this time we are only seeking additional foster homes for rabbits and other small animals, or for large challenging dogs.  Please only apply if these are your specific areas of interest for fostering. Other applicants who are not interested in these types of animals, will not be reviewed/accepted at this time.

Foster Care volunteers are guardian angels to thousands of BC SPCA animals in need.  Many of the animals looking to go into foster homes are in need of some medical or behavioural care, all of which will be supported by the shelter team. Whether an animal is injured, abandoned, or underage, foster care saves lives.
