What’s new…?
We are looking for volunteers to join our lovely team…
SUF is a fantastic charity to volunteer for; it only works like it does because of our volunteers. We have a very supportive team who work well together and who will help you learn the ropes.
If you are interested in any of the roles outlined below, we would love to hear from you, so please contact us.
Regional Coordinators
We are looking to recruit more coordinators to work with the current team members covering Italy, Spain, Greece and the Balkans.
The role of a coordinator is to:
Liaise with our European rescue partners to understand the dogs in their rescue centres and ensure all health checks etc have been done to allow travel;
Work closely with the Adoptions Manager (Thelda) to review applications and work to find a good match between dog and adopter; and
Help facilitate smooth travel and transition from rescue centre to adopter’s home.
This is a really rewarding role.
Dog of the month Ollie
Ollie was found wandering the streets in Turkey. Locals threw rocks at him and other stray dogs were aggressive towards him.
He arrived in foster at the end of January 2025 and his foster has really helped bring him out of his shell.
Although he is nervous at first, he is a lovely, sweet boy. It can take him time to trust and understand that people (especially men) are not going to hurt him.
His forever family will need to continue his training, exposing him to different situations to help him build up his confidence and flourish.
Ollie would love a calm home with a resident dog to play with and learn from. We are looking for a family that has experience with nervous dogs and can give him the time he needs to adjust to his new life.
Ollie is in foster care in Lincolnshire.
