VOLONTÄRARBETA

VI ÄLSKAR VOLONTÄRER!
Vi vill välkomna dig att bli en del av vårt team, vare sig det är för en kortare eller längre period. Din insats behövs på sheltret för att socialisera, mysa, aktivera och promenera med hundarna. Många av hundarna är rädda och behöver tid och tålamod för att börja lita på människor, något som är avgörande för att de ska kunna bli adopterade. Du är välkommen att besöka sheltret under en vecka eller stanna i flera månader om du vill. Precis som med donationer, stora som små, gör varje insats skillnad. Nästan alla våra hundar är tidigare gatuhundar som aldrig har varit inomhus och som behöver lära sig att känna sig trygga tillsammans med människor. Socialisering är särskilt viktigt för blyga hundar och för dem som har blivit utsatta för våld. Vi uppmuntrar våra volontärer att stanna minst en vecka. Då hinner man bygga nära relationer med hundarna och får också uppleva hur de gradvis vågar knyta an till människor.
