🐶 Animal Welfare/Dog Walking – Volunteer Role 💕

Keeping people and pets together, no matter the circumstances. POOPS is a not-for-profit organisation run entirely by police-cleared volunteers 👮‍♀️✨. We support: 👵 Older adults (65+) 🧑‍⚕️ Palliative care patients ♿ People of any age with a disability or disabling illness Our mission is simple: keep people and their beloved pets together 🐾❤️. It’s about human wellbeing just as much as animal welfare. . 🚗 What Volunteers Do Our amazing volunteers help with: • 🐕 Dog walking – for clients who can’t walk their dogs anymore • 🍽️ Feeding pets – especially when clients are in hospital for a short stay • 🚙 Transporting pets – to the vet or boarding facilities • 💊 General care – grooming, bathing, flea control, and medication (only if you're comfortable)

🐾 Volunteer Activities 🐾 DOG WALKING Some clients are physically unable to walk their dogs, which can cause distress for both pet and owner 😢. ✅ Volunteers walk dogs when they can—no fixed schedule required ✅ Times are arranged to suit both volunteer and client ✅ A great way to get outdoors and make a difference 🌳🐕

🐾 ANIMAL FEEDING When clients go into hospital for 1–2 days: 🍽️ Volunteers nearby may be asked to feed pets at home (often in backyards/verandahs) 🧘 This gives clients peace of mind while they focus on their health

🐾 TRANSPORT Many clients can’t drive or walk long distances anymore 🚫🚶‍♂️ 🚗 Volunteers help transport pets to/from their regular vet 📍 We aim to keep pets with their trusted local vet whenever possible

🐾 MEDICATION & GENERAL CARE Some volunteers assist with: 🛁 Grooming & bathing 🦟 Flea control 💊 Administering medication ✅ Only if you’re comfortable and willing—no pressure!

💌 Who Can Volunteer? Anyone! Most of our volunteers are: 🐾 Animal lovers 🏡 Current or former pet owners 🩺 People with experience in health care or animal rescue

If you’re kind, reliable, and love animals—we’d love to hear from you! 🐾💛 Join POOPS and help keep tails wagging and hearts full.
