Afternoon at an SPCA shelter
Duration : 6:10
Our visit to an SPCA shelter continues in the afternoon- a young man arrives to give up his dog, volunteers take the dogs for a walk, and much to everyone's surprise, the new abandoned Labrador mom is adopted.
SPCA animal control officers follow up tips concerning animals that are being abused or neglected. Viewers see the harm that is done to animals and discover what can be done about it.
Follow an animal control officer who has to deal with repeat offenders, lost animals, and traumatic accidents. People who take on jobs dealing with animals usually do it because they love them, but so much of their job deals with sad cases.
There are many unsung heroes who do volunteer work for the betterment of dogs and other animals. Meet a dog walker for the SPCA, women who put on fund raisers for animals, and a woman who takes in stray cats.
Meet three animal activists who have made life for dogs and other animals better through their work - Ingrid set up the Vancouver Humane Society, Pavlik is fighting to have dogs allowed in apartment buildings, and Gwen worked for leash-free parks.
