We are always in urgent need of Volunteers to assist with animal care in the shelter.

Anyone interested will be asked to begin at 8:00 or 9:00 am latest on the scheduled morning, because animal care involves not only cleaning the cages, but feeding and watering the animals as well (which is why it must be done mornings). Animal care is the heart and soul of the shelter, and volunteers who help in this capacity are extremely appreciated and loved.  You must be 16 years of age or older to volunteer in this position.  If interested please drop by the shelter on Riddell Road and fill out a volunteer application or go online at http://www.orangeville.ontariospca.ca/4-volunteer.shtml and fill in the volunteer application online.  You can also contact Joanne Scott the Volunteer Coordinator at 519-942-3140.
