Volunteering: Dogs Trust West Calder Seeks Canine Cupids

 

In a world where every dog deserves a forever home, Dogs Trust West Calder has been a beacon of hope for countless canines, rehoming 340 dogs in 2022 and currently heading towards 380 dogs successfully rehomed in 2023.

For 2024, the West Calder rehoming centre is on a mission to expand its team of reception-based volunteers, transforming the adoption process into a heartwarming matchmaking experience. 

Unleashing Love: Be a Canine Cupid 

Dogs Trust West Calder is calling on dog enthusiasts and tech-savvy individuals to join their reception team, where they will play a pivotal role in connecting dogs with their ideal adopters. Acting as the bridge between eager families and lovable dogs, these volunteers will essentially become canine cupids, fostering connections that last a lifetime. 

The Role: More Than Just a Greeting 

Volunteers will not only be the welcoming faces at the centre but also the technologically savvy matchmakers behind the scenes. The ideal candidate will be comfortable navigating both PCs and iPads, using their IT skills to process adoption applications efficiently. In addition, a friendly demeanour is a must, as reception volunteers will regularly greet members of the public, offering assistance and guidance in the adoption journey. 

Join the Pack: How to Apply 

Dogs Trust West Calder invites individuals with a passion for dogs, a flair for admin, and a warm smile to join their reception team. This is an opportunity to be part of something extraordinary, making a real difference in the lives of dogs and their adopters.
