Volunteer

You can make a difference for animals around the world.

Everything we do at IAPWA is made possible by people who care deeply. As a small charity doing big things, volunteers are absolutely integral to our work.

Whether it's raising funds, sharing specialist skills, leading adventures, or helping behind the scenes, our volunteers play an important role in improving the lives of vulnerable cats and dogs everywhere.

By volunteering your time, you're helping us reach more communities, support more international partners, and create lasting change for animals that need it most.
