Volunteers
are key to providing the animals in the shelter with the high quality
of life for which WAG is known. You can make a difference in their
lives every time you come in for a shift at the shelter. The ultimate
goal is to ensure that the animals are happy, healthy, trained and
well-socialized. This improves their chances for adoption and reduces
the amount of time they spend in the shelter prior to adoption.
Here
are some of the many ways you can work with the animals:
- Regular Dog Walking
- Cattery Attendant
- Shelter Closing Attendant
- Quiet Visiting for Dogs & Cats
- Provide transportation to veterinary appointments
- Volunteer at the Spay and Neuter clinics
- Join a WAG committee, e.g. events, fundraising, or marketing
and public relations

you can call us at 604-935-8364, or drop in to see us.
We'll
set up an introductory orientation session and train you for your
position. Then, you just have to sign up for shifts. In the meantime,
you can learn more by reading the Volunteer
Manual. |
