What Volunteers Do
Our amazing volunteers help with:
* Dog walking for clients who cant walk their dogs anymore
* Feeding pets especially when clients are in hospital for a short stay
* Transporting pets to the vet or boarding facilities
* General care grooming, bathing, flea control, and medication (only if you\'re comfortable)
Volunteer Activities
* DOG WALKING - Some clients are physically unable to walk their dogs, which can cause distress for both pet and owner. Volunteers walk dogs when they can; no fixed schedule required. Times are arranged to suit both volunteer and client. A great way to get outdoors and make a difference.
* ANIMAL FEEDING - When clients go into hospital for 12 days. Volunteers nearby may be asked to feed pets at home (often in backyards/verandahs). This gives clients peace of mind while they focus on their health.
* TRANSPORT - Many clients cant drive or walk long distances anymore. Volunteers help transport pets to/from their regular vet. We aim to keep pets with their trusted local vet whenever possible.
* MEDICATION & GENERAL CARE - Some volunteers assist with grooming & bathing, flea control, administering medication. Only if you\'re comfortable and willing—no pressure!
