Why do you need proof of my ID?
For the safety of our volunteers in knowing that the person and the address being visited are both correct and also so that we can assure the person you are visiting knows who you are and that we have seen verification of your identity.
Do I need any specific skills to volunteer?
No but we do ask that you are at least familiar with dog ownership and what a dog needs
Why are you looking for microchip scanner? What does this entail?
We need people who are able to go out to the dogs that are being surrendered to scan them for a microchip and confirm the number. This is a security measure to ensure we are taking on the correct dog from the correct owner
How old do I need to be to volunteer with you?
Because of our insurance, all our volunteers need to be at least 18
How much time do I have to give?
That’s entirely up to you and also depends on the role you are volunteering for. Some of our roles, such as home visitors, transporters etc. might not do much due to their location, whereas adoption co-ordinators might need to commit to a few hours a week
Do you pay expenses?
Yes and no. We reimburse fuel at 35ppm to home visitors, transporters and dog assessors. Any other expenses should be discussed prior to taking on a job for UK Spaniel Rescue.
Will I receive any training?
Depending on the role and your experience, we will give training where it is needed.
