Volunteering

Would You Like to Be a Save-A-Dog Scheme Volunteer?

As an organisation that relies on volunteers for its very existence, your input as a potential volunteer is much needed. Volunteers assist with many tasks including:

• Cleaning the kennels and cattery

• Feeding

• Grooming

• Helping in the office

• Helping with laundry and dishes

• Handy-person jobs

Some volunteers may progress to walking dogs and hands-on care of the animals.

Some volunteers come for a three-hour session in the morning or afternoon. We endeavour to have a roster for volunteers to make sure we don’t have too many one day and not enough the next.

If you are over 18 years old (see age requirement explanation below) and would like to learn more, please phone the shelter on 9824 7928. Volunteers need a current tetanus vaccination before starting with Save-A-Dog-Scheme.

 

Age Requirement for Volunteering

Unfortunately, due to reasons beyond our control, Save-A-Dog Scheme is unable to accept voluntary work at the pound and shelter premises from people under 18 years of age.

By definition this means we are unable to take people under 18 years who may be undertaking community service, work experience, Duke of Edinburgh Award or similar projects.

Save-A-Dog Scheme does however wish to encourage, as much as possible, the interest and support of this age group; to this end, projects which do not involve direct participation at the shelter are appreciated but do need to be discussed, and permission must be sought for any project involving the use of our name.

If you would like to discuss how people under 18 (or indeed any age) can help our work, please phone us on (03) 9885 1188, leave a message with your phone number said clearly and repeated and briefly state your reason for phoning and we will return your call.
