St. Francis Dogs Home Calls for Volunteers in Cornwall

In an effort to enhance the welfare of dogs through Cornwall, St. Francis Dogs Home is reaching out to animal lovers and community members to volunteer for various critical roles within the organisation. The charity, known for its dedication to rehoming dogs, emphasised the urgent need for volunteers to assist in transporting dogs to vet appointments, facilitating meet and greets, and delivering food to foster homes.

The call for volunteers was made via a Facebook post, announcing an upcoming volunteer evening scheduled for February 8th, from 6:30 pm to 7:30 pm at the Quintrell Inn, Newquay. This event aims to engage and inform potential volunteers about the various ways they can contribute to the cause. For those specifically interested in fostering dogs, an induction session will follow the main event, running from 7:30 pm to 8:00 pm.

St. Francis Dogs Home is also seeking volunteers for home checking, a crucial step in the dog rehoming process. The organisation assures training for this role, requiring approximately two hours of commitment on site. In addition to transport and home checking, there is a call for volunteers to assist in fundraising efforts and event participation to further spread the word about St. Francis and its mission.

Highlighting the community spirit of the organisation, the post mentions the shared love for dogs, a sense of humour deemed necessary to navigate the challenges of animal welfare, and a friendly, dedicated team atmosphere. St. Francis Dogs Home is open to volunteers from across Cornwall, underscoring the flexibility in the amount of time volunteers can dedicate to the charity.

Those interested in joining the volunteer evening or seeking further information are encouraged to reach out via email to mail@stfrancisnewquay.org.uk. St. Francis Dogs Home expresses a heartfelt invitation to individuals willing to contribute their time and effort, emphasising that any help provided will be greatly appreciated in their ongoing efforts to find forever homes for dogs throughout Cornwall.
