Dog Aid Scotland (DAS) is a small, impactful and committed charity established in 1956. We are at the beginning of our new five year strategy to establish a firm place in the hearts and minds of dog owners across Scotland. DAS promotes responsible dog ownership through our programmes and schemes – the flagships being the Neutering Voucher scheme – which last year provided funding for over 500 dogs to be neutered thus preventing unwanted or unexpected puppies. Our Vet Aid scheme has also paid out over £40,000 in the last twelve months as contributions towards vet bills where dog owners are on low incomes or benefits. Our unique Re-homing service seeks suitable loving new homes for dogs of all ages being placed for adoption. The work of DAS is vital to ensure Scotland’s dogs are well cared for and owners are properly supported in providing that care. DAS currently spends in the region of half a million pounds every year and to survive long term must find new and innovative ways of funding our work.

We have big ambitions to do more in the years to come. To succeed we need a powerful, inclusive and visionary Board of Trustees to work with our Chair and Chief Executive. We are fortunate to have a varied skillset in our current Trustees but we have vacancies for an additional 3 to join them in taking our work forward.

Who are we looking for?

We are seeking people with skills and experience in the following areas:

• Fundraising, Marketing, Communications

• Finance and Administration

• Charity Law and Governance

• Digital and social media
