BECOME A VOLUNTEER
Volunteering is fun, rewarding and plays a critical role in our work to improve animal welfare.
These are some of the ways you could help...
Dog walker
Love dogs but unable to commit to one as a pet? If yes, then why not become a volunteer dog walker at the centre. The animal centre is located in a lovely countryside setting with a variety of peaceful walks to undertake. At any one time, we can have over 30 dogs all needing a walk each day so any help is much appreciated.
Cat cuddler & small animal socialising
Could you help us by becoming a cat cuddler or small animal socialiser? This role involves grooming and socialising a variety of cats in our care along with our rabbits, guinea pigs and smaller furry friends. Each one has their own unique temperament and character so every day is different!
