The day-to-day volunteering duties
at the shelter are split into three areas:
- Cats & Kittens
- Rabbits & Guinea Pigs
- Large Animals
These duties, regardless of the area you choose
to work in, take place at two times of the day:
- 9:30am - 11:30am for feeding/ cleaning
- 4:30pm - 6:30pm for evening feeds
We need volunteers to help with these duties every
day of the week in all weathers. We need friendly and reliable people
who can work well as part of a team and who genuinely care about
animals.
Experience of working with animals is desirable
but not essential as training is provided.
Ideally we like our volunteers to be able to commit
to a set day (or days) each week but if you can only work on a fortnightly
basis or even on a monthly basis then we still want to hear from
you as any help is gratefully received.
We are currently desperate for volunteers
to help with large animals during the week.
We also need volunteers to help on Saturday &
Sunday afternoons when we are open to the public (11:30am - 3:00pm).
This role differs from all others as it involves answering the phone,
talking people through the re-homing policy and showing people round.
Volunteer socialisers also work weekends only -
between 3:00pm and 4:30pm when the shelter is closed and before
evening feeds. Socialisers spend time with our more difficult residents
- teaching them to trust humans again after what can sometimes be
very distressing experiences.
To talk to someone about any of the volunteering
opportunities mentioned above please contact the shelter. If there
is no-one around to take your call please leave a message as we
will get back to you.
