WE ARE NOT ACCEPTING VOLUNTEERS AT THIS TIME.
We are pausing the acceptance of new volunteer applications while we refresh and strengthen our volunteer program. Our goal is to create a structure that works better for both our volunteers and the animals in our care.
During this transition, it wouldn’t be fair to bring in new volunteers before the updated program is ready. We truly appreciate your patience and understanding as we make these improvements.
Join a great team of people
We are always looking for dedicated volunteers to help us help the animals. We need people to assist us with the animal’s daily care, help with transporting animals or donated items to and from the society, grounds maintenance, and repairs; just to name a few.
Join our team
Potential volunteers will need to complete and send in a volunteer application. Once your volunteer application is received only successful candidates will be contacted. We will then arrange a tour if you have not had one already. Which will be followed by volunteering time with one of our regular ‘seasoned’ volunteers. If you have any questions regarding volunteering with SAINTS, please contact our volunteer coordinator at volunteer@saintsrescue.ca.
