Thank you for your interest in becoming an HKDR Volunteer!
We depend on our dedicated volunteers to exercise and socialise the hundreds of dogs staying at our Tai Po (medium to large sized dogs) and Ap Lei Chau (older puppies to small-medium sized dogs) Homing Centres, especially on weekdays . Volunteers will also be required to help with cleaning and feeding, especially during the initial training stage.
No experience is necessary as training will be given. All you need is a love of dogs, a mature sense of responsibility and the willingness to get your hands (and clothes) dirty!
*You must be 18 years old or above to volunteer at HKDR Homing Centres.
*Please note that Kennel Volunteers should help with all related duties on request. Most common on-site tasks would be cleaning, unloading dog food upon delivery, disposing unwanted materials such as dog houses etc.
*All Kennel Volunteers are required to attend an Orientation Class (Tai Po: 3-hour; Ap Lei Chau: 1.5-hour) and finish the subsequent supervised shifts to become an official registered volunteer. A HKDR volunteer T-shirt will be distributed for successful registration.
Thank you to all the volunteers who are helping out at the Homing Centres for the dogs despite these changing times and lack of manpower for kennel work!
In case of any injuries or disabilities that make you fail to help with the requested tasks, kindly report to the staff on-duty.
