WE DESPERATELY NEED PET THERAPY VOLUNTEERS
Do you or any friends or family members have an exceptionally social and well-mannered animal? We’re currently looking for new SPCA Outreach Therapy Pet Volunteers.
We believe that pet therapy can help people in institutions where they may feel isolated and lonely. As a volunteer with the programme, you (and your pet!) will be bringing joy and comfort to people in rest homes, hospitals, and mental health wards.
Prior to being accepted into the programme, all animals undergo an assessment that measures their sociability, temperament, obedience and confidence. Unfortunately we are unable to accept animals that show signs of fearfulness or aggression. Animals are also required to undergo a Vet Health Check to ensure they are vaccinated, microchipped, desexed and in good health. Volunteers who are accepted will receive training and be placed at a facility they can continue to visit (typically weekly or fortnightly) on an ongoing basis.
If you and your animal are interested in volunteering with Outreach Therapy Pets please visit our website for more information and to apply.
Thank you for offering to share the joy your animal gives you with others.

Animal Abuser
🚨 URGENT WARNING TO ALL LOST & FOUND / PET REHOMING PAGES 🚨 and people rehoming pets or reporting lost animals.
It has come to our attention that a long-term, repeat animal abuser is still actively obtaining animals through Facebook groups.
The type of animal does not matter — birds, livestock, dogs, small pets — anything he can access.
He monitors rehoming pages. He approaches people offering “help.” He presents as reasonable. He will say the right things.
Do not give this person any animals under any circumstances.
If you are an admin of a lost & found page, a community group, or a pet rehoming group:
• Please stay vigilant
• Check profiles carefully
• Share this warning across your networks
Animals have already paid the price for people not knowing.
If you are unsure about someone requesting an animal, ask rescue groups to help.
