New Volunteer Form

Thank you for your interest in helping with our rescue work.

You must be over 18 years of age to Volunteer with us due to the nature of the volunteer work and insurance.

We operate the first independent "No Kill" rescue centre in the Hunter Region to give lost, abandoned and neglected campanion animals time for a second chance.

By volunteering in our shelter you can help not only our dogs waiting in a safe space until finding a home, but also our foster carers by ensuring that donated goods are stored and inventoried.

Once we receive your completed form, you will be sent a volunteer agreement. Once this is received we will send you a link to our private Facebook group.

PLEASE NOTE: it is expected that our volunteers assist within the first month of joining. No matter how small or big the activity, all your help goes a long way.

Please check your email spam/junk folder if you do not receive a response from us within 48hrs.
