We need you! Do you want to actively contribute and help us help animals?
We have dozens of volunteers every year ranging form all walks of life. Even if it is just an hour a week you have to give, you could talk one of our dogs our on a walk - this may not seem much, but could mean the world to the dog! We created a form for our interested volunteers - fill it out below and we cannot wait to meet you!

Are you a Veterenarian or Volunteer and want to help us help Fiji’s strays?
Some of the most frequent questions we get asked:
Can I play/interact with the animals?
Yes! Once you’ve completed orientation, you’re welcome to play with the cats and dogs. We have designated play areas where you can interact with the dogs, providing them with much-needed human interaction. This time spent with them is vital for their development and significantly improves their chances of being adopted.
Can I walk the dogs?
Absolutely! We have a fantastic volunteer team that has initiated a dog walking program during the week. Volunteers work together in small groups to train the dogs to walk with harnesses and leads, helping them become more adoptable.
Will I have to clean the cages?
As a volunteer, you have the flexibility to choose how you'd like to spend your time. The shelter team works hard every day to keep the cages and areas clean to ensure the animals stay healthy. Since this is a big task, they often appreciate a helping hand with cleaning. Many of our volunteers are happy to pitch in and assist with these tasks.
What are the main volunteering tasks?
Volunteering at the SPCA offers an exciting variety of activities. Volunteers may assist with dog walking, puppy playtime, washing dogs and puppies, playing with and brushing the cats, making treats and leashes, cleaning, feeding, and more. There are also opportunities to help with outreach clinics, administration, photography, and social media.
What should I wear?
Volunteering can be dirty but rewarding work! We recommend wearing old clothes that you don’t mind getting dirty, and closed-toe shoes are essential. Since most of the work is outdoors, it's a good idea to bring a hat, sunscreen, and water.
Help us help animals!
SPCA provides highly subsidised desexing services and welfare support for animals at our clinic in Suva. The Outreach Programme aims to take this service to target communities that otherwise have no access to veterinary services.
This work is only possible through access to volunteer veterinarians, sponsorships and partnerships.
Regular outreach sessions are scheduled depending on the availability of local and international veterinarians.
