  1. Get involved
  2. Volunteering

Volunteer

Our volunteers make a huge contribution to the work we do to improve the welfare of dogs and give them Hope. We have a wide range of volunteering opportunities available at both our rescue centre in Llanharan and in our charity shop in Pontypridd -  there is something for everyone. We also welcome volunteers from charities and organisations supporting service users with specific needs. We can also accommodate corporate volunteering days. Volunteer opportunities include:

  • Fostering
  • Homechecking
  • Canine Carer and dog walkers
  • Administration
  • Driving
  • Grounds maintenance and gardening
  • Charity shop sales and cafe assistants 
  • Providing professional services, such as photography, marketing, IT or design
  • Joining our “Handmade by Hope” craft team
  • Fundraising

Volunteering not only benefits our dogs but also provides lots of benefits for our volunteers too including:   

  • Meeting like-minded people who are passionate about animal welfare
  • Gaining new skills or developing existing ones
  • Gaining a sense of achievement by doing something rewarding
  • Putting something back into the community
  • Developing personal skills and confidence

If you're interested in volunteering please contact us by email or call is on 01443 226659

You will be invited to attend an induction course at our rescue centre in Llanharan when you will be asked to show ID and full proof of address before you can take up a volunteering role with us.
