Want to volunteer with animals?

If you're interested in doing some volunteer work here is an opportunity involving dogs. At Raanana's Municipal Kennels dogs are kept for various reasons (some because they have lost their owners) and these dogs need to be taken out for walks regularly. Volunteers are needed who will take the dogs from the kennels (which are next to Kfar Nachman, on the road which leads to the cemetery adjacent to Kiriat Sharet) for a walk.

If you are interested in walking dogs from the kennels this is done every morning except Tuesdays, between 09:30 and 11:30 and on a Friday between 08:30 and 10:00. You can volunteer for as many or as few hours as you can. The dogs really need some loving attention.

Another opportunity is to volunteer at the Raanana Park on a Saturday to help with the "adopt a pet" day which happens there regularly. These dogs really need homes and lots of love.

To volunteer at the park for adopt a pet day on Saturdays call:Ruty 054-2581100
