Our Event & Fundraising Volunteers

– The Lifeblood of LUOSKO

At LUOSKO German Shepherd Dog Rescue, our event and fundraising volunteers are the unsung heroes behind the scenes—the passionate, dedicated individuals who help keep our rescue running through their tireless efforts. While our kennel staff and behaviour team care for the dogs day to day, it's our volunteers who make so much of that possible by helping us raise the vital funds we need to continue our life-saving work.

 

Every bag of food, every veterinary bill, every blanket, toy, or training session is funded almost entirely through public support. That’s why fundraising is so critical—and why our volunteers are absolutely essential to our mission.

 

Our event and fundraising volunteers help in a wide variety of ways, including:

  • Running stalls at community events, pet shows, and markets

  • Collecting donations through raffles, tombolas, and fundraising games

  • Promoting our work and sharing the stories of the dogs in our care

  • Organising and assisting at LUOSKO-hosted events like open days, sponsored walks, and awareness drives

  • Helping to plan, set up, and tidy away at fundraising events big and small

  • Creating mini fundraisers in their own communities—bake sales, quiz nights, car boot sales, and more

  • Managing collection tins in local shops and helping us build relationships with local businesses

  • Encouraging others to get involved—be it through donations, volunteering, or adopting

But beyond the logistics, our volunteers bring something even more important: heart. Their enthusiasm helps us connect with the public, build lasting community support, and keep animal welfare at the forefront of people’s minds. Whether it’s standing in the rain with a donation bucket, baking cakes for a fun day, or staying late to clean up after an event, their commitment truly keeps us going.

 

With their help, we can say “yes” to more dogs in need. Dogs like Theo, who arrived afraid and shut down… Elsa, who needed time and gentle handling to trust again… and countless others who just needed someone to fight for them.

 

We welcome volunteers of all backgrounds—whether you're a seasoned event organiser or someone just looking to give a little back in your spare time. No experience is necessary, just a love for dogs and a willingness to help. Even a few hours a month can make a huge difference.

 

So if you’re passionate about dogs, love being part of a team, and want to make a real impact in your community, join our fundraising and events team. Together, we can continue to change lives—one dog at a time.
