Volunteer with One Wish
It isn’t just donations which allow us to transform the lives of dogs in need. We could never do what we do without our amazing team of dedicated volunteers, who give their time to help us.
We are always looking passionate, kind-hearted dogs lovers to join our friendly family of volunteers. Could you donate some of your time and make a difference to our dogs' lives?
Have you ever thought about fostering an unwanted or abandoned dog? Fostering is usually short term (from as little as just a night or two to a few weeks) but long term care (for several months) with specialist fosterers is sometimes also required. We never know who will be arriving on our doorstep from one day to the next, so our foster team needs to be ready and waiting for our new arrivals, and whatever emotional baggage they may be bringing with them.
Or are you a brilliant event organiser? We run fundraising events throughout the year and we would love to build a strong and dynamic team of volunteers to ensure their maximum success. Even if you can only spare a few hours to man one of our stalls, your time would be very much appreciated.
We have a job for absolutely everyone here at the One Wish Dog Foundation. And whatever your skills and talents, they’ll always be very welcome!
