Also fond of animals? Can you see yourself walking or cuddling with such a treasure? We are looking for volunteers who want to take care of a pet at home for a while.
What is Dier&Vriend?
Dier&Vriend is there for pet owners who are temporarily admitted to a social shelter. Here people can get their lives back on track with therapeutic help. For example with psychiatric problems or addiction. Unfortunately, pets are not allowed in this shelter.
The owners often have problems in many areas and therefore have no network or money to safely house their pet. This is often a reason for owners to decline admission.
This is why we are looking for volunteer animal shelters so the owner gets the care he or she needs. As a sitter, you will take in a pet for up to six months.
Who are we looking for?
- You have a suitable environment to care for the assigned pet.
- You have enough time to care for the animal and provide peace and stability.
- You care for the animal as if it were your own.
- You are patient and have perseverance.
- You take the animal to the veterinarian, if necessary.
- You can say goodbye to the animal after max. 6 months.
What do you get from us?
- You have an animal in your life for a period of time that you can care for.
- A very interesting and educational experience.
- All expenses, such as food, are reimbursed by us during the care.
- You can take advantage of the training offer of the Volunteer Academy free of charge.
How long do you trap an animal?
The length of the shelter period can be a few weeks, as well as a few months and up to six months. During the shelter period, you will need to be able to care for the animal full-time.
