Our organisation could not operate without dedicated volunteers – they are our backbone and primary source of support.
Without the extra set of hands to help clients participate, the communication between animal and leader, the constant care of our animals and their home, and the partnerships in our community, it would be nearly impossible to serve our clients!
Volunteers play a significant role in the success of the organisation and the dedicated support they provide is greatly appreciated.
We welcome the involvement of volunteers across a wide range of roles within our organisation.
