Volunteers - we need you!
|
ADDR is a 100% volunteer run organisation.
Volunteers operate every area of the rescue - from walking dogs at the kennels to providing foster care, fundraising, doing home checks, transporting dogs (to and from kennels/vets/foster homes) and carrying out various assessment. Even our coordinators are all volunteers! Why Volunteer with us? Every year, over 4000 dogs are at risk of being put to sleep in UK pounds. The more volunteers we have, the more dogs we can help! At ADDR, you’ll be joining a friendly team of volunteers who are all passionate about finding forever homes for our rescues. Below are our current volunteering opportunities which you can apply for through application form at the bottom. Volunteer Opportunities |

Fundraising Volunteers
As a charity, ADDR relies completely on donations and fundraising. We are always looking for friendly volunteers to help us at fundraising events. These can include fetes, fairs, dog shows, family fun days and stalls at shops.
We need people who are able to help on the day of the event including assisting with setting up, manning the stall, and setting down/packing away.
Kennel Team - Onsite at Midlothian kennels
*** ALL POSITITIONS CURRENTLY FILLED ***
Dogs in our kennels tend to be larger dogs who often have behaviour issues such as reactiveness, guarding, pulling/ragging the lead etc. Their walks provide enrichment and exercise as well as much needed training. Confidence handling strong challenging dogs is essential and experience would be an advantage.
If you are looking for an easy walk with a smaller or already trained dog, please consider this type of a role for another rescue.
Transportation / Homechecks / Assessments
We also rely on volunteers to carry out home checks for potential adopters and fosters, to help us transport dogs (to homes, kennels, vet appointments etc) and to carry out dog assessments.
