🌟NATIONAL VOLUNTEERS' WEEK 2026🌟

This week we throw the spotlight on the many hard working volunteers who so readily give their time for the rescue. We currently have a large team of volunteers, many of whom have been with us since we started in 2013, and the reason why we rarely need to advertise for more to join our team.

Our volunteers undertake many varied tasks - walking the dogs, making craft items, undertaking home checks, fundraising, admin. tasks, kennel cleaning....the list goes on.

We are so lucky to have such a great team and this week we want to acknowledge their hard work. We know that the rescue simply wouldn't exist without them all and we send each and every one a very
