National Volunteer Week 2017: Profiling Kayla and Kate
Wed, 26 Apr 2017
National Volunteer Week 2017 continues!
In this picture Kayla and Kate are hard at work keeping the places we walk our dogs free of litter - making life better for animals and the community.
Why did they get involved and keep helping?
Kayla answers: I started volunteering 2 years ago because I love dogs and simply wanted to spend time with them. I continue because of the love they give back and the passion and friendship of all of the other volunteers at the SPCA.
Kate says: Honestly, it comes down to a love of animals. I love the no cage, no kill philosophy and what that actually means for the residents at the SPCA. Most shelters would have given up on a lot of the animals housed at the centre, but through patience and persistence those dogs and cats find homes and live happy, healthy lives. I like to be a part of that. There's nothing more exciting than seeing a long term resident get adopted. Emotions run high but everyone can see how happy the animal is to finally go home.
