Ceridwen & Juanita with Bramble, Dyfed
My six-year-old daughter Juanita and I have begun volunteering to walk Bramble, a six-year-old Border Terrier. The fact that Juanita and Bramble are the same age was the first clue they would become friends!
When we first explored the country lanes together on a Sunday morning and people came out of the chapel, we realised Bramble is famous. He is a local legend who people fuss over without hesitation due to his sweet temperament.
We urgently need volunteers to help the pets below

Faqs
Volunteering
Not at all; as a volunteer, the time you give is entirely up to you. A lot of our volunteers help a set amount per week, but we have no stipulation about the amount you volunteer.
We have no rule against being accompanied while volunteering, except being accompanied by an owner while walking a dog. All we ask is that you discuss who will be joining you with the owner in advance so there are no surprises.
Yes, you can, but there are some things to keep in mind. We have a one dog per hand rule, so if you have more than one dog or the person you are looking to support has more than one dog, then we deem it unsafe to walk 3+ at any one time.
We are delighted to accept young volunteers who are looking to help in their community. We require volunteers to be aged 16 to be able to volunteer independently; however, we do accept children under age 16 as young volunteers when registered along with a responsible adult who can accompany them while volunteering.
