Become a volunteer

Become an everyday hero ❤️🐾

In a shelter, every day is made up of small acts that change everything: a filled bowl, a clean kennel, a calming walk, a cat learning to trust again… Volunteering means giving your time to make lives gentler.

Whether you’re available one morning a week or a few hours a month, there’s a role for you.

➡️ I want to volunteer

Why volunteer?

  • Help animals in a very practical way while they wait for a family

  • Be part of a meaningful human adventure

  • Witness incredible progress: a shy animal relaxing, an anxious dog settling

  • Join a kind team that moves forward together

Volunteer roles

Choose based on what you enjoy, your skills and, above all, your availability:

🐶 Dog care volunteer (on-site)

  • Walks, toilet breaks, supervised play

  • Socialisation work (calm behaviour, lead walking, introductions)

  • Reassuring presence: helping them relax around people

🐱 Cat care volunteer (on-site)

  • Cleaning, preparing pens, feeding

  • Gentle time: play, cuddles (if the cat wants), enrichment

  • Behaviour observation (what they like, what stresses them)

🧼 Daily help at the shelter

  • Cleaning (essential for everyone’s health)

  • Laundry, blankets, meal preparation, tidying

  • Little helping hands that save the team precious time

🏡 Foster families (if you can’t come to the shelter)

  • Temporarily take in an animal (recovery, kittens, stressed animals)

  • We support you: advice, follow-up, equipment where possible

🤝 Post-adoption follow-up

  • Checking in, supporting adopters

  • Helping the first few days go smoothly (tips, reassurance, good practice)
    Ideal if you enjoy people contact and feel more comfortable helping remotely.

🎪 Events & awareness

  • Staff a stand, talk about our work, collect donations

  • Help at open days, collections and local initiatives
    A great role if you’ve got energy and an easy smile!

📸 Communication & creative skills

  • Photo/video, social media, writing posts

  • Graphic design, layout, editing, poster creation
    Every skill can help the cause.

🚗 Transport & logistics

  • Trips to the vet, lift-sharing, collecting supplies
    Sometimes urgent — always invaluable support.

What we’re looking for

No need to be an “expert”:
✅ Kindness and respect for each animal’s pace
✅ Reliability (turning up when you commit, letting us know if you can’t)
✅ Willingness to learn and work as part of a team
✅ Comfort with the idea that some animals need time

📌 Some roles require being physically comfortable (cleaning, light lifting, walks).

How to join the team

1) Apply

Fill in our form / send us a message (availability + the role(s) you’d like).

2) Meet & visit

We’ll explain how things work, safety rules, and animal welfare at the shelter.

3) Supported trial period

You’ll start with guidance. The aim is to find the role that suits you, at your own pace.

4) Welcome aboard!

You’ll join a team — you’re never on your own.

Good to know

  • Animals have sometimes been through difficult experiences: patience is key.

  • Volunteering can be emotional… and deeply rewarding.

  • Even 2 hours now and then can make a real difference.
