“THE MORAL WORTHINESS OF A NATION CAN BE JUDGED BY THE WAY ITS ANIMALS ARE TREATED”
-Mahatma Ghandi.
Volunteer
 
As a registered charity, TEARS relies entirely on public donations and the generosity of animal lovers.
 
Being a pro-life society, there is no limit on how long a dog or cat can stay with us, but as the number of animals increases every year, so does our need for support from the community, especially for volunteers of all ages.
 
We are always looking for volunteers who provide us with a wonderful, much appreciated service.
 
If you would like to volunteer your services, here are a few ways in which to get involved:
       
       
Kennels
 
Working one-on-one with the dogs and puppies.
 
Includes jobs such as walking, grooming, rehabilitating and training our shelter animals, as well as spending time with the dogs and puppies, giving them love and attention or finding them new homes.
       
       
Cattery
 
Working one-on-one with the cats and kittens.
 
Includes tasks such as cleaning litter trays to bottle-feeding, rehabilitation and spending time with the cats and kittens, giving them love and attention or finding them new homes.
       
       
Office Assistant
 
Assist in the answering of phones, doing paperwork, general office and public relations, etc.
Animal Rescue
 
Help rescue animals in distress.
  
 
General Maintenance

TEARS Charity Shops
 
Ideal for those of you who find it too heartbreaking to work with the animals.
 
Our three charity shops are always in need of assistance to sort and price the donated goods, place them onto the shelves and help the general public.
