Volunteering Opportunities

Hands-On Healing

Compound Work:

Engage directly with our dogs—socialising, training, and walking them to instil confidence and calm. Your role may also include tasks such as feeding and accompanying them to veterinary appointments.

Feeding Stations:

Feeding station volunteers ensure that our street animals never go hungry or thirsty. Regular visits to these life-sustaining spots are a critical part of our outreach, offering nourishment and monitoring the well-being of the strays under our care.

Other:

Do you have a special skill or resource that could benefit our cause? We welcome unique talents that can support our operations, from marketing and fundraising to construction and veterinary services. Your specialised skills can make a significant impact.
