• • Room at the inn?

    • 8 Dec 2009
    • Wellington SPCA
    • We are desperately searching for volunteers who can offer a temporary home to some of our fabulous dogs. With Christmas just around the corner, we really need to find a place to stay for some of our pups. Dog fosterers play a very important role at Wellington SPCA by providing short-term accommodation to dogs in our care, when we just simply don’t have the space for them at our shelters.
