You must be 18 years or older, willing to walk dogs in all weathers, and be able to commit to at least one 2 hour shift per week for a period of at least 6 months.
What you will be doing:
- Cleaning of pens, washing dishes, laundry.
- Providing food and water at scheduled times.
- Socialising timid dogs and enriching the lives of residents by petting, playing, training and walking.
All new volunteers will be required to attend a Health and Safety Induction (which includes a tour of the Centre), as well as a Canine Induction. These are usually held once a month on a Wednesday morning, or occasionally at the weekend.
If you have any questions, please call us on 03 547 7171 or drop into the centre.
