Volunteering
To help as many animals as we can, there are sometimes tasks where we look to others for help, and volunteers have long been at the core of the Saskatoon SPCA.
We are fortunate to have a large and dedicated volunteer base, numbering over 600 active volunteers in 2010, with new applicants every day. Due to the large existing group of volunteers that handles our dog walking and cat socializing, we are not currently accepting or recruiting new volunteers for these positions. However, there are still a number of exciting opportunities in a number of different areas, including:
• Assisting with special events
• Gardening
• Yard care
• Lawn care
• Snow removal
• Repair and maintenance
• Data entry
• Lottery ticket writing
• Preparing mail-outs
• Writing articles for our newsletter
• Grooming animals, such as brushing dogs and cats
• Doing dishes for the animals
• Doing laundry
• Help to feed and water the animals
• Photography
• Social media producer
• We are always open to suggestions and utilizing any special skills or talents you may have!
Becoming part of our team and assisting with any of these endeavors is a fantastic way to be a part of helping all of the animals currently enjoying the Safe Shelter of the Saskatoon SPCA on their way to finding their own Happy Homes. When joining our organization, it is important to keep in mind that volunteers should be open to the idea of helping wherever there is a need.
To apply, please fill out the application form.
Please note that because of the high interest in our volunteer program, submission of an application does not guarantee placement as a volunteer with the Saskatoon SPCA. Only successful applicants will be contacted.
