What We Require From You

- You must be healthy, energetic, honest, hard-working and organised. A passion for animals is a must. Non-smokers only. We need someone who can work on their own initiative, being responsible and dedicated to their duties.
- People with animal experience and knowledge are preferred. We do give you full training to the work and our standards.
- Minimum stay is two weeks.
Daily Duties
- Cleaning up after the pets, including the kennels and cattery.
- Feeding.
- Walking dogs in the tranquil countryside.
- Interaction, cuddling and play.
- General maintenance.

“Working for June and Michael at Cyprus Pride House is probably one of the hardest things I’ve willingly done; however, one of the most rewarding. If you have a passion for animals then this is the place for you. Although challenging, building a friendship with the animals was what made it worth it. You’ll notice that each cat and dog has a different personality and you’ll fall in love with every one of them, I certainly did. I’m never going to forget my time at the shelter and I’ll always cherish the memories I made with the animals as well as June and Michael. If you’re up for a challenge and willing to put the animals first then I fully recommend you plan your volunteer visit today!” – Josie Arnold, CPH volunteer.
