Unique volunteering collaboration

Did you know that in a recent survey we conducted, over 70% of respondents expressed interest in voluntarily walking a shelter dog? That’s an amazing number! It shows how many people want to make a positive impact - both for themselves and for these wonderful dogs in need.

And now, we're giving you the chance to do just that!

Imagine this: A peaceful walk through Eindhoven’s scenic parks, fresh air filling your lungs, and a shelter dog by your side. Not only do you get to enjoy the benefits of being outdoors, but you also give a dog a much-needed break from the kennel. These dogs don’t just need exercise; they crave companionship, love, and a friendly face to brighten their day. You could be that person!

A few important rules to keep in mind:

• With great cuddles comes great responsibility. Walking a dog is a fun and rewarding experience, but it also comes with responsibility. Take good care of the dog, follow all guidelines, pick up after them, and always keep them on a leash to ensure safety.

• No breed preferences. Every dog deserves love and attention. If you sign up, you agree to walk any dog the shelter assigns, regardless of size or breed.

• Commitment is key. If you apply to walk a dog, please don’t cancel last-minute. The shelter and the dogs count on your presence, so sign up only if you are fully committed.

  
  

Why participate?

This is a win-win experience. You get a refreshing break in nature, a chance to unwind from daily stress, and the joy of knowing you're making a difference in a dog’s life. A short walk may not seem like much, but for a shelter dog, it can mean the world.

Join us in walks that make difference.
