Volunteering is a wonderfully rewarding way to help the pets at the animal rescue centre!

Here are a few of the ways you can make a difference:

Centre Helper

Cats and dogs need special attention to help them overcome sometimes very traumatic experiences, and some happy-go-lucky pets just need that extra cuddle to make their day. There is a lot of clean-up that has to be done, especially in the morning. Come early and help Stephanie and Dan and then enjoy a cuddle with your favourite pet as a reward!

Foster Parent

Do you have extra room to take in a mom with kittens, or perhaps a cat or dog that needs that extra special tender loving care? Fostering is very rewarding - seeing an animal thrive under your special care and as a result find a forever home is a wonderful way to contribute to our cause.

Fundraiser

To meet operating expenses, the centre has to run a lot of fundraisers such as burger and beer afternoons, or evenings with silent auctions, garage sales, dances, etc. Your ideas and talent in organizing events are just what we need!

Please fill out our Volunteer Application form and contact Stephanie at 250-754-7081, or walkersanimalrescue@shaw.ca if you would like to be one of our volunteer angels - and thank you!

Jack (below), is a Jack Russell Terrier cross who had cancerous lumps on his legs that needed to be removed. With the help of many generous donors, the surgery for Jack has been successful and he is happy in his new home in Qualicum Beach. Thank you to everyone who helped out!

Another great success story for Walkers ARC!

Stephanie Walker

Stephanie, as you may have guessed, is the co-founder of Walker's Animal Rescue. She and several volunteers operate a farm, as well as tirelessly attending to over 100 cats, several dogs, llamas, goats, sheep, rabbits, pigeons, donkeys, guinea pigs, pot-bellied pigs and even the odd emu.

Dan Guiomar

Dan is a blessing to Walker's Animal Rescue with his carpentry skills - Dan is our handyman and has spent many hours building homes to house animals in their foster homes.

Cathy Morton

Cathy is one of our biggest supporters. She is also a board member of the Vancouver Humane Society.

Rick Smith

Rick is from As You Like It, personal chef services (250-722-2032). He and his wife Laura are both big supporters of the centre. Rick even made us a kitty litter cake for our grand opening! He has a great sense of humour and he can solve that eternal question -"What's for dinner tonight?".

Neil

Neil is another valued member of our team. He works tirelessly wherever he is needed with clean up, animal care and errands, and we couldn't keep going without him!

Pat South

Pat is another one of our wonderful volunteers who comes out to do the invaluable and sometimes messy job of daily animal care and clean up.

Paul Pelzer

Paul is one of the legal eagles at MacIssac & Company who has given us tremendous support over the last few years. We are very grateful to Paul, John Jordan and all the staff at MacIssac & Company.

Sue Culver

Sue has recently joined the Walker team to help keep our web site up to date.
