Become a volunteer at the SPA de Haguenau & Environs

The commitment of our volunteers allows the SPA de Haguenau & Environs to work for the protection of animals as well as to ensure the care, safety and happiness of our animals. Being a volunteer at the shelter means being part of a team of passionate people and is synonymous with personal enrichment and beautiful experiences. It is also an opportunity to get involved in an non-profit organisation with strong values and to be able to improve the life of animals.

Take part in the shelter’s activities

Everyone can help us in their own way: becoming a volunteer is one way to support us. Indeed, the shelter operates thanks to the volunteers who are involved in all the missions of the organisation and who are necessary for its smooth running. Our members’ commitment is all the more essential as it allows the SPA de Haguenau & Environs to achieve its objectives and to carry out its fights. Therefore, we are looking for motivated people who are ready to get involved in the organisation and who have a great interest in animals.

What are the volunteer’s missions?

There are several ways to join in the life of our organisation. You can do this by:

Helping the shelter on a daily basis by doing some cleaning, tidying up or minor repairs, mainly in the morning.

Welcoming visitors or holding a stand during events organised at the shelter or elsewhere.

Visiting, playing or cuddling our cats while they are waiting to be adopted by a loving family.

Taking part in the walks of our dogs up for adoption after attending a mandatory training session with a dog trainer at the shelter. He will teach and show you how to best manage the different situations we may be faced while being with the dogs. You will be asked to pay a compensation to be allowed to participate in the training. Our staff will send you a document with the different available training dates at the time of your registration.

Joining our team dedicated to animal cruelty or neglect cases to conduct investigations related to animal abuse. This mission allows the SPA de Haguenau & Environs to intervene as soon as possible. To carry out this task, it is necessary to have strength of character, to be tenacious and accommodating, to know how to keep your composure and to have a team spirit. If you think you fit this profile, apply now! We will discuss your motivation with you during an interview.
