Volunteer sought for work with farm & exotic animals
Do you have a few hours a week to devote to animal care? Ideal for someone local to Ross On Wye who is seeking a career with animals and needing experience or someone recently retired and fit and wanting a new outlet or someone who simply loves being surrounded by animals and caring for those who have not had a great start in life. A great country setting to work in and very friendly welcome awaits. We are located just outside Ross on Wye in Herefordshire. The volunteer will work alongside 150 animals across 25 different species. Great for equine lovers as we have donkeys, mules, horses, miniature horses and zebra, some of which need a lot of attention. We also have red deer, emu, reindeer, wallaby, porcupine, raccoon, coati, ferrets, owls, goats, sheep, pigs, cows, cats, dog, poultry, alpaca, fox. We have this range as alongside our own livestock we offer homes to animals who were neglected or living in conditions inappropriate for their needs. This voluntary work will involve pen clearing, pooh picking, feeding, and help with husbandry. For those interested interacting with those animals that benefit from personal attention. So it is tough physical work but in a great setting with great experiences. No previous experience with animals is required but it is important to be physically fit and have a can-do attitude and ability to remain calm and considered when working beside livestock. Ideal for horse lovers too. Read More
