If you wish to work at our refuge with the animals it is necessary to think about being safe around animals. Many of those in our care have not had the best start in life and as a consequence can be frightened an unpredictable at times, very occasionally people get scratched or bitten, also the work can be dirty and we advise volunteers to wear sensible clothes and footwear. 

We need you to have an up-to-date tetanus injection for this year, to follow the training and induction with PAWS, to have authorization from your parents if you are under 18 years old.
