Urgent Volunteer Appeal!!
We have a huge need for volunteers across a number of areas:

🐾 Fundraising Volunteers required in all areas but particularly in Carlow, North, West and East Cork, Kildare, Mayo, Offaly, Tipperary, East and West Wicklow and Wexford.

🐾 Our Puppy Raising Programme requires 25 Puppy Raisers across the country in the coming weeks. Further details below.

🐾 Temporary Boarders are also required to support the Puppy Raising Programme.

🐾 Breeding Volunteers required in Munster to support our studs and broods as they create the next generation of life-changing pups.

Please do share our appeal among family, friends and colleagues letting them know the value of getting involved in our community. We are always delighted to welcome new people. If you are interested in any of these volunteering roles please email [email protected]
