Adopt Fundraising Volunteer

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Senior · 21 years

Everything we are able to do for dogs begins with the support of our community. Behind every clean kennel, every meal, and every step forward a dog makes, there is someone who chose to support that work. Fundraising is about creating those connections. It’s about helping people understand the difference they can make and inviting them to be part of it. In this role, you’ll contribute to that in a way that suits you - whether that’s through conversations with the public, supporting events, or helping things run smoothly behind the scenes. Every contribution plays a part in making better outcomes possible for dogs. This is a varied role with a mix of public-facing and behind-the-scenes opportunities. You can get involved in ways that suit your confidence and interests, from engaging with the community to supporting campaigns and event administration.

Some volunteers choose to grow into more public-facing roles, becoming confident in engaging with the community and representing our work. Others prefer to develop behind the scenes, supporting the organisation and coordination that make events and campaigns possible. As you build confidence, there may also be opportunities to explore other areas across the organisation, alongside access to learning opportunities and new volunteer roles as they develop. Please note: satisfactory references are required for all volunteer roles. Some roles may also require a DBS check as part of the onboarding process. Applicants must be aged 18 or over. Applications from under 18s will not be processed and will be removed without further contact.

About Fundraising Volunteer

What life with Fundraising Volunteer looks like

Fundraising Volunteer is a small senior mixed breed dog waiting at Hope Rescue in Pontyclun.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇬🇧Adopting from United Kingdom

UK shelters work under the Pet Travel Scheme (post-Brexit, the EU pet passport is not valid; a UK Animal Health Certificate is required for travel into the EU). Most UK rescues focus on domestic placements but some work with EU partners.

Frequently asked

Adopting Fundraising Volunteer, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Fundraising Volunteer?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Hope Rescue handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Fundraising Volunteer on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Fundraising Volunteer if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Hope Rescue will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. UK adopters: post-Brexit travel into the EU requires an Animal Health Certificate. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Fundraising Volunteer already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Fundraising Volunteer isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Hope Rescue early rather than rehoming privately; they know Fundraising Volunteer and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (EN). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
