Are you over 18, have time to volunteer on a regular basis and are looking to make a real difference in the lives of animals in need.
At Ruahine Animal Rescue, we are an entirely volunteer-run organisation, and every bit of help makes an enormous impact. We are looking for volunteers who are willing to help with cleaning and upkeep, walking, socialising and showing love and support to our rescues. Whether you’ve got a few hours a week or a bit more time to offer, we have opportunities that can fit your schedule.
Additionally, we are always in need of foster homes for animals awaiting adoption. Fostering is one of the most rewarding things you can do—it gives animals a safe, loving environment while they wait for their forever homes. Plus, fostering is a great way to make a direct impact without the long-term commitment of adoption.
If you’re ready to help make a difference and be part of a team that’s dedicated to improving the lives of animals, get in touch with us today!
Volunteers clean, feed, walk and help us socialise our animals to get them ready for life as a much-loved pet. They also accompany our dogs to public events and walk them around the event to encourage interest in adoption.
Animal care can be messy, so you will get your hands dirty, but we promise you will get a lot of animal cuddles and kisses in return.
Volunteering at an Animal Centre is a great opportunity to learn about animal care if you are looking to work in the industry. Our trained volunteers will teach you how to safely handle animals, how to keep their enclosures clean, to stop the spread of diseases and make a difference in their lives.
Working in our adoption areas will teach you customer service skills and you will get lots of cuddles in the process.
