Volunteer for PAWS
Could you spare some of your time to volunteer for PAWS and help local pets and
their owners that are in need? There are many reasons why dogs and cats need to
find new families. Hardship, Illness, loss of life and other difficult circumstances
occur in the home, meaning that difficult decisions have to be made. PAWS will
Rescue, Rehabilitate and Re-Home dogs and cats in our area whenever possible but
all this comes at a cost.
PAWS hosts many events over the year to raise funds. Being non-profit, we have to
make money all year round to be able keep the wheels turning.
We hold Dog Shows, Coffee Mornings, Fairs and other events all year round at
various locations local to our area. Our Event Co-ordinator is always looking for
volunteers who would like to join the team and take on some of these events or run
new ones!
We have a great team of volunteers. Their skills vary greatly. We have Bakers,
Crafters, Dog and Cat fosterers, Kitchen and General Helpers at our Coffee Mornings and other events, Market Traders, Knitters, Dog and Cat carers and home checkers.
Everyone helps out where they choose, and we won't pressure anyone into doing
something they do not feel comfortable with. All help is always very much
appreciated. We are a friendly group and being a part of the PAWS team is rewarding and a good place to make friends and be part of something worthwhile.
