Keen to Volunteer?
We are looking for keen energetic people who would like to help us at our Adoption Centre in Bromley. We are looking for Shelter Assistants, to assist with meal prep and feeding, cleaning dog kennels, general chores to keep our facility spic and span, and assisting in providing enrichment for our dogs. We have various shifts across the day.
All volunteers are able to have interaction with most of our dogs (not all of them), however, as a new recruit, this is under supervision by a staff member or your volunteer "buddy".
If you are interested in knowing more, please email our Personnel Manager for an Information Pack: patria.carter@dogwatch.co.nz
