What our volunteers have to say -

"You will be given training to high standards and on-going support. Once you are ready the satisfaction you will feel during and after your visit is extremely rewarding. The pleasure you bring to the people you visit is priceless." Louise and Tammy

"It's one of the most important things I've ever done. Now I'm retired it keeps me active and gives me something truly worthwhile to do with my beautiful dog Mia. I love working with my dog and it's wonderful to see all the happiness and smiles she brings; and I always feel totally supported and appreciated by Velma." Cheryl and Mia

"I really enjoy watching my little dog make so many people happy. The experiences are uplifting. We make a real difference to peoples’ lives. I learned a lot about dog training and loved the positive methods. It’s very rewarding and a very positive thing to do with my dog. Velma is terrific, makes us feel appreciated, and am proud of the difference this charity makes." Chris and Lulu
