The GSPCA couldn’t do so much without our incredible team.
There are many ways to help the animals in our care and we are currently looking for a number of volunteers to help in a range of roles.
Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said “At the GSPCA we have an amazing team and currently we are looking for those that want to help us do all that we do in a variety of roles.”
“Last week was Volunteers Week and we couldn’t do so much without so many incredible volunteers.”
“One role is to become a dog walker, with often dozens of dogs in our care from boarders to those in needing our care we are looking for volunteers that are 16 or over to help us not just in the week but also on the weekend.”
“You can help regularly or occasionally we plenty of flexibility to help us especially with walking the dogs as we strive to get them out as much as possible.”
“We also have many other roles, one being helping with our animal ambulance.”
“Those that help volunteer on the animal ambulance you will often hear them called animal wardens and many of these help 6pm until 8am ensuring we have 24/7 cover but we also have weekend day hours available if anyone would like to help us with our rescue work.”
“With any volunteer role the easiest way to apply is to complete our online application form which only takes a few minutes and we can then get you started.”
“To complete the volunteer application form please check out https://service.sheltermanager.com/asmservice?account=gspca&method=online_form_html&formid=14 .”
“The next volunteer induction evening we have is tomorrow at 630pm.”
“All are welcome but to volunteer at the Animal Shelter you have to be 16 or over.”
“We also have a number of vacancies for staff members from reception to animal care and to find out more please visit https://www.gspca.org.gg/sites/default/files/application_pack_ACA_Recep_pack_May_2024.pdf .”
“There are many other ways to support our work if you haven’t the time to come along and help, just check out our website www.gspca.org.gg .”

Steve continued “If you can’t make the next Volunteer Induction and would like to become a volunteer please complete our new online form https://service.sheltermanager.com/asmservice?account=gspca&method=online_form_html&formid=14 .”
