Program Details

I need volunteers to help with the daily running of the sanctuary where there are around 60 dogs. As well as the daily feeding , cleaning and walking duties, volunteers are sometimes required to accompany me on vet visits or help in rescue operations. Driving license is helpful but not essential!

If you also love cats, we’ve recently created a space for a few who were in need of care and a safe place to stay.

Activities & Shift

There is a morning shift and an afternoon shift.

Rules

General awareness and consideration whilst at sanctuary is expected. Volunteers are responsible for keeping their living quarters tidy and clean (including upon departure for next volunteers). Volunteers often eat together or cook for themselves in the kitchen spaces. No partying or excessive drinking because this can affect the dogs.
