Animal care voluntary opportunities
Volunteers sought to work alongside a range of animals from alpaca to zebra and 29 different species in between. Ideal for someone local to Ross on Wye Herefordshire who is seeking a career with animals and needing experience on their cv or someone who simply loves being surrounded by animals and helping them have a great enriched life. Previous experience with animals is great, but not required, however it is important to have a can-do attitude and ability to remain calm and considered when working beside livestock. Also ideal for a handy man who enjoys mending and repairing and maintaining their enclosures, fencing and helping to enrich their environments. We are located just outside Ross on Wye in Herefordshire in a valley setting. The volunteer will work with 160 animals across 30 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 are not a charity but alongside our own farm livestock and pets we have offered homes to animals who were neglected, could no longer be cared for, or RSPCA cases living in conditions inappropriate for their needs. This voluntary work will involve pen clearing, pooh picking, feeding, and help with husbandry, disinfecting enclosures and adding different enrichments. If you seek a range of experiences we will ensure you get engaged with husbandry work including hoove clipping, worming, vaccinating, wound dressing etc. It is tough physical work but in a great setting with great experiences to be had. Volunteers need to be 21 years of age or over. Thank you for reading Read More
