How to Volunteer

Volunteers have been the cornerstone of the Bow Valley SPCA since its inception, and we value the many members of our community who dedicate their time and resources. The success of the Bow Valley SPCA depends significantly on community and volunteer effort and involvement, and we are so proud to have a large volunteer base of highly engaged animal advocates who form the foundation of our non-profit operation.

Volunteer Requirements

At the Bow Valley SPCA, we are committed to providing care and protection for stray and abandoned cats and dogs. We have an animal wellness focus and provide education to prevent cruelty and promote humane attitudes towards animals.

So, the most important requirement to volunteer with the BVSPCA is to love animals! If you’ve made it this far, that’s probably you!

Other requirements include:

Please keep in mind that initially new volunteers are limited to volunteering during our public operating hours (Wednesday to Saturday, 12:00pm to 4:00pm).
