Description of the Activity:
We’re seeking 10-12 volunteers (aged 18 – 30) from across Europe to assist us in transforming the dog’s training area at the Dogtor Foundation (OID E10067140).
This space serves as a training ground for therapy dogs, where various skills like basic obedience and sniffer work are honed.
Volunteers will help clean and paint the area, rebuild jumping obstacles, enhance resting spaces, and create sections for individual dog activities (such as sensory paths for puppies).
Who Can Apply?
Youth with a friendly attitude towards dogs are encouraged to apply!
We welcome applicants comfortable with physical work around the training area and those who thrive in team environments. Additionally, volunteers are invited to contribute their own creative ideas.
How to Apply?
If interested, fill out the online application by March 4th, 2024.
