BC SPCA

Join our team of like-minded individuals as a Cat Care & Wellness volunteer with the BC SPCA! Work in partnership with staff and volunteers to ensure our cats' environments are clean, and their emotional & physical needs are met through daily engagement and BC SPCA-approved training techniques. We are looking for volunteers to take a Wednesday and/or Friday evening shift, starting after 5 p.m. (start time is flexible), and/or a Saturday morning shift.

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). 

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.

If you would like an active opportunity to directly be involved with addressing cat overpopulation in your community, this position is for you. Trap-neuter-return (TNR) has proven to be the only long-term solution to humanely control feral cat populations. Your support will ensure cats in your community are healthier and not creating greater population concern.

Join our team of like-minded individuals as a Volunteer Coordinator with the BC SPCA! Volunteer in partnership with staff and other volunteers to build a strong, cohesive community of people to help animals in need. Your support will help our teams maintain excellent partnerships with our essential team of volunteers!

Join our team of like-minded individuals as a Animal Transport volunteer with the BC SPCA! Animal Transport Volunteers play a critical role in transporting both animals and supplies. Combine your passions and do both by applying to become a volunteer driver! !

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.
