A Community Of Care
Lend a Helping Paw
Thank you for taking the first step in becoming a valuable member of the team at our animal haven in the southwest! As a non-profit, we thrive on the compassion of volunteers like you to fulfill our mission of providing humane care and shelter for all animals in need. We cultivate a welcoming and uplifting volunteer community where every individual is embraced. We offer diverse opportunities for groups, businesses, and individuals to contribute in ways that resonate with their unique passions and talents.
The Shelter
Anyone over 14 years of age (or under 14 and accompanied by an adult) is welcome to help us out at the shelter. Typically, our volunteers walk the dogs, clean kennels, and help with other duties as needed. If you’re interested in volunteering at the shelter, call (306) 773-1806 or email infospcaswiftcurrent@gmail.com.

Community Events
Individuals and groups are welcome to assist with the various events we hold throughout the year. Tasks can include ticket sales, merchandise sales at trade shows, helping with set-up and tear-down, driving, baking, doing sparkle tattoos, and other activities. All training, when necessary, is provided. Volunteers are also welcome to organize their own fundraising initiatives. From lemonade stands to large public events, everything helps, and we’d be happy to discuss your idea with you! Get in touch with us at scspcafundraiser@gmail.com.
Become a Foster
Fostering a pet is a rewarding experience, for both you and the animal you welcome into your home! Oftentimes an animal that comes to the shelter will have a hard time adjusting while they await adoption, and fostering allows us to make space at the shelter for incoming pets in need.
As a foster, you choose the type of animal to take in, and the length of the stay can vary. We can discuss times and placements that work best for you and our pets, and we’ll support the pet over the duration of its stay with you, including veterinary costs.
By living with and observing the animal, you help us gain a better understanding of it and the adoptive person or family it might best be placed with.
We are also always seeking ASK (Animal Safekeeping) fosters to place pets in temporary care while their owners find safer living situations. Please indicate in your application if you are interested in learning more about this program.
If you’re interested in fostering, give us a call at (306) 773-1806 or fill in the application form below. We can’t wait to hear from you!
