Volunteers are our lifeblood. Without the helping hands of so many people, we wouldn't exist and 100 hounds a year would not get saved and given a new chance at life.

Whether you have an hour a week to give or 40 hours a week, we have opportunities for you to help. Some duties can be shared. Some jobs involve a few weeks of intensive support work. Some are just 'help on the day' and don't involve any ongoing commitment. If you volunteer for us, it is not a lifetime committment .

Try it for a while and if you're not enjoying it, let us know - we are thankful for whatever you can do for us!
