Make a Difference to the Lives of Rescued Animals

Are you passionate about animal welfare and looking for a rewarding way to give back to your community?

Little Pigs at Home Animal Sanctuary is a small, independent sanctuary based in Tegryn. We provide lifelong care for unwanted, neglected and disabled pigs, as well as other animals in need. Every animal that comes through our gates has their own unique story, and we're dedicated to giving them the love, care and second chance they deserve.

We're looking for enthusiastic and compassionate volunteers to join our friendly team and help support the day-to-day running of the sanctuary.

What You'll Be Doing

• As a Volunteer Animal Care Assistant, you may be involved in:
• Feeding and caring for our rescued animals.
• Cleaning and maintaining animal enclosures.
• Preparing food and enrichment activities.
• Assisting with general maintenance and keeping the sanctuary tidy.

What We're Looking For

We're looking for people who are:

• Passionate about animal welfare.
• Reliable and committed.
• Happy to work as part of a team.
• Comfortable working outdoors in all weather conditions.
• Aged 18+ (or younger with appropriate supervision, where applicable).

Whether you're looking to gain experience, build your confidence, support a local charity or simply spend time around animals, we'd love to hear from you.

What You'll Gain

In return, you'll have the opportunity to:

• Gain hands-on experience working with rescued animals.
• Learn about animal welfare, rehabilitation and sanctuary life.
• Develop practical skills and teamwork.
• Meet like-minded people.
• Make a meaningful difference to the lives of vulnerable animals.
• Receive a volunteer reference after a period of committed volunteering.

Time Commitment

We offer flexible volunteering opportunities, whether you can spare a few hours a week or a regular day. We'll do our best to fit around your availability.

We are looking for volunteers to do at least one shift per week minimum.

There are 3 shifts to choose from, and they can be made quicker if 2 people do it together.

What skills do I need?

We welcome volunteers from all backgrounds. You don't need previous animal care experience—just a positive attitude and a willingness to learn.

Full training is given.

Much of the routines are done inside the main barn in the winter.

We will only ask volunteers to do the very basic routine, no heavy lifting or lugging hay bales or deep cleaning - we will have that covered.
