Founded in 1875, Animal Protection Denmark (Dyrenes Beskyttelse) is the oldest) and largest animal welfare organization in Denmark. Their work includes rescuing and caring for animals at the local level across Denmark. The organization runs 10 animal shelters and 30 wildlife care stations across Denmark and is based on a large network of volunteers. What types of volunteer jobs do they have?
- Animal Rescuer – You drive a car from the organization to locations where there are animals in distress. Training is provided.
- Animal Shelter Volunteer – This is all about spending time with the animals.
- Wildlife Care Station Volunteer – You need space in your courtyard to be able to set up a wildlife care station.
- Foster family for animals – Helping tiny kittens and puppies survive 🙂
- Local association coordinator – If you have more time and a lot of love for animals, you can be in charge of animal rescuers.
