Dogs Trust Manchester hopes to sniff out green-fingered dog lovers

Staff at Dogs Trust Manchester are hoping they will come up smelling of roses in their search for volunteers to help them look after the site. 

The Denton-based rehoming centre is in need of volunteers to help look after the outdoor areas of the site, taking on everything from planting to weeding.  

Dogs Trust Volunteer Co-ordinator, Kerry Gormley, says: 

“We have a Maintenance Officer who looks after the entire site so he’s as busy as a bee all year round and now we’re looking for volunteers to work alongside him regularly. 

“It is really important to us that the centre is a lovely, welcoming place for people to visit, whether they are dropping off donations or coming to chat about a dog they would like to adopt, and this role will really help us achieve that.” 

If you are a lover of the outdoors, are available during the week and want to do your bit to help rescue dogs, please go to www.dogstrust.org.uk/manchester or to find out more or you can e-mail volunteer.manchester@dogstrust.org.uk
