Support
Auckland Puppy Rescue is a registered charity relying on donations and grants, run solely by volunteers committed to rescuing puppies in need, desexing to control the number of unwanted puppies being born and rehoming all puppies that come into our care.
We are run by a small group of trustees and volunteers who each contribute valuable skills to ensure the charity’s success. We work collaboratively and communicate regularly and are always there to support our fellow volunteers if they need it. Volunteers are expected to provide a positive experience in all their interactions with members of the public, always treat fellow volunteers with respect, and to comply with all our policies to ensure that none of their actions damages our brand or public image.
Full support and guidance will be provided as the successful person becomes familiar with the role.
