Our Clients

Here are some of the people and stories that make us do what we do.  Keeping people and their pets together is our motto!

When I heard of POOPS I thought they are amazing for those who can’t get out and walk their dog. People can stay in their homes and keep their dogs... It would be very hard if Jet didn’t have walkers. He is very content at home, but he needs to get out and walk.

Kerry can’t speak highly enough of POOPS as an organisation, and as an idea. POOPS is “an extraordinary concept… that people would be so generous with their time for people who are unable to do the right thing by their animals,” Kerry says. “I can’t think of a more positive, community-oriented, caring service for animals… it’s unbelievable”.

I think it’s the best thing that’s ever happened to me since I’ve been here, because before I was getting really down, not down in the dumps but you’re just on your own a lot and now I’ve got people coming nearly every day. Sophie and I have a very busy life meeting people and I love meeting people I really do. To read more about Ann and how she came to be a POOPS client

Ray
Say hello to our darling Ray! Ray is a character. He is playful, affectionate, confident and what you might call a little boisterous. Maureen tells us as a puppy he wasn't much different: "A real monkey when it came to his personality, but I think that's what attracted me to him. I wanted a dog with personality and he's got oodles of it as you can see". To read more about the story of Maureen and her little monkey Ray

Our volunteers have amazing things to say about POOPS!

  • "I feel very lucky to have two dachshunds in my life, with the added benefit of knowing that volunteering means helping someone else as a bonus, it’s amazing"

    Juan P

  • “We get to spend that time together (Liz and her son), in our busy world that hour is a great time to chat about school and really just to connect and catch up…It’s a great way to give back and its lovely building a connection with the owners and getting to know them and their dogs.”

    Liz T

  • “ I love volunteering for POOPS. It gives me so much pleasure to make the dogs happy and the owners as well. When I pick the dogs up they already sit in the window and wait, wagging their tails, so excited to get out and about.”

    Britta J

  • "I am so happy I joined POOPs. Since my mum says I can't have a dog (yes, I'm 32 and still living at home with my parents #adulting), volunteering with POOPs means I can finally share all the love I have saved up with the four dogs that I walk."

    Ljubica

  • “If you volunteer in things, it's lovely for the people you volunteer with, but it's really wonderful for yourself, it raises your self esteem, it makes you feel useful, it gives you something to do, it keeps you involved. I think volunteering has been the best thing for me since sliced bread”

    Sheila T

  • "We actually first met on Valentines day (I kid you not) and his owner Maureen arranged for him to have a doggy grooming session that day, it really felt like a blind date!...My life is quite busy and sometimes to just have a lovely walk with Jimmy keeps me grounded, we usually sit and cuddle for 10 minutes mid-walk which is relaxing and helps me take time out and enjoy the view and Jimmy”

    Nellie

  • “It is the most rewarding work I do. I’m so pleased I found POOPS and it has helped me prepare for another dog in my life who I hope one day will walk with me and my beautiful POOPS dogs”

    Pam H

  • “I always want to help people when I can and I love animals. It makes perfect sense to be a POOPS volunteer.”

Being without transport, I know if I have an emergency, she (volunteer Jane L) would take me to the vet, she’s become more of a friend to me now and I think the world of her and I think the whole concept of POOPS is marvelous and I know there are many people, particularly older people who live for their dogs and as long as the dogs are taken care of that’s their main worry.
