Be rewarded

It doesn’t take much

Volunteering is an essential part of Friends of the Pound – giving you the opportunity to meet new people and contribute to your community!

About us

It doesn’t take much

Volunteering with the cats, dogs, kittens and puppies at the Tweed Shire pound is a very rewarding and enjoyable experience. It helps to provide company, support and extra care for all the animals. Activities include: feeding, cleaning, socialising, bathing/grooming and playtime, plus providing individual comfort when needed. If you are keen to join the team, please email Lee: pound@friendsofthepound.com and don’t forget to become a member by filling out the form on this page and choosing how you’d like to help!
