    Opportunity


    About this opportunity:Springer Rescue Scotland (SRS) is a Scottish charity founded in 2008 to champion the welfare and rehoming of Spaniels. SRS is dedicated to ensuring that every Spaniel in Scotland finds a loving home and that their owners have enriching experiences. SRS embodies a non-judgmental approach, providing a safe haven for Spaniels in need and promoting their well-being with unwavering commitment.
    They are looking for Transport Volunteers to move dogs safely from the surrendering family to the foster home.
    Given Scotland’s size, not every Springer in need of a home finds their perfect family nearby. SRS need volunteers with safe vehicles to help transport dogs. If you have a dog-friendly vehicle and are willing to travel, they’d love to have you on board.
    You will receive full support, and can choose the location where you would like to volunteer.
