Our companion animal support program

Do you need help with walking your dog? If you are over 65 years old and/or have a disability, we have a free program to support you.

A volunteer will visit your house once a week and walk your dog for an hour around your local area.

To find out if you are eligible or get more information, please call 9205 5555 or contact us.

You can also volunteer to be a dog walker for our program. All you need is strong interpersonal skills and experience with and a love of dogs. Time required is 1-2 hours per week.
