Thank you for your interest in volunteering with us at Angel-Paws!
We want all of our volunteers and foster carers to enjoy the time they spend with us, and our animals like Vixen here, and have a range of roles to suit everybody. We look forward to hearing from you soon!
Do you, like Raven, enjoy computer-based work?
Would you like to apply your organisational skills to help us run our administration office smoothly? Tasks can be completed remotely from home and may include but are not limited to:
- Preparing animal profiles for printing and / or posting to Facebook, Instagram, and our website.
- Monitoring bookings and payments for The Cattery.
- Updating profiles on our social media and other portals for pets available for adoption.
Adoption Days are an amazing opportunity for Angel-Paws to not only allow the public to meet a number of our animals available for adoption but also speak with and educate people on responsible pet ownership and care.
Adoption Day activities include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Setting up of animal enclosures, water, litter trays, toys, etc.
- Speaking with the public about Angel Paws Inc. and volunteering, responsible pet ownership, adoption processes, and assisting with completion of adoption forms as required.
- Taking payments for animal adoptions.
- Cleaning of animal enclosures as required.
- Packing up of animal enclosures, ensuring all animals are collected by their foster carers, and the AP area is clean and tidy.
Do you want to spend some time with some of our cutest foster babies, while educating young people?
Angel Paws hosts a number of Puppy Cuddle events throughout the year and requires volunteers to assist with collecting puppies for the event, set up / pack down of the event, handling of the puppies, cleaning up after those little accidents, and speaking with the public about Angel Paws and what we do as an organisation.
These events are a lot of fun and a great way to spread the word about Angel Paws, and animal welfare in general.
Do you enjoy socialising and talking to people? Angel Paws hosts and attends a number of large-scale activities in Townsville and always needs volunteers to attend and promote our organisation.
These events can include Plant Sales and Garage Sales at the Southwood Road site, public events such as the Townsville Expo, Pet Expo, and Colour Run, and Angel-Paws events such as Trivia Nights.
There are a range of roles on offer for these events such as set up / pack down, information booth, merchandise sales, and photography.
Event times will differ depending on the nature of the activity and will be confirmed closer to the date.
Do you fancy yourself as a Bingo Caller, or love the atmosphere at the Cowboys Leagues Club?
Cowboys Leagues Club invites Angel Paws to host Bingo twice per week as a fundraising event, and we need one bingo caller plus two spotters at each session.
These are held from 8.30am to 11.45am every Wednesday and Friday at Cowboys Leagues Club in the city.
This is a great, fun event with an amazing team of volunteers so why not give it a go!
If you enjoy being out in the fresh air, or want to get a bit more exercise, then this role will suit you.
Angel Paws sometimes has dogs living at the Southwood Road facility until a foster carer can be found, or they are adopted.
These dogs need regular walks and enrichment, bathing, or profile photographs taken which is where our volunteers come in! If you enjoy walking and playing with dogs and puppies, please consider giving some of your time to brighten the lives of these animals.
If you are an avid crafter, busy baker, or green thumb this would be a great role for you!
Angel-Paws regularly hosts bake sales and other events for the public where various handmade products are for sale.
Whether you are a baker, crafter, or green thumb there will be something for everyone to help create and fundraise to improve the welfare of our animals.
Angel-Paws has a number of patterns and ideas available for volunteers if you're not sure where to start.
Foster carers are vital to giving as many animals as possible a second chance at life!
Canine foster carers provide love, stability, and enrichment to dogs and puppies in our care, with the support of the Angel-Paws Dog Team and veterinary staff.
This is a very rewarding, sometimes challenging role, where you will be provided with food and essential vet care, and other items such as toys, bedding, etc. (if available).
Along with caring for the animal(s), you will be required to provide photographs for profiles and attend regular adoption days and other events with your foster animal(s).
