Das Erlebnis

We're located in the beautiful, peaceful National Park on the South-West tip of the Algarve about 3kms away from Vila do Bispo. We provide a safe haven for animals in our refuge. Volunteers are so important to help feeding and walking the animals; cleaning their areas and houses; photographing them so they can be advertised on social media; generally caring for and spending time with them; maintaining/cleaning our garden area & buildings.

Aktivitäten & Schichten

We start early in the mornings, when it is cool - 8 am in the autumn, spring and winter months and 7-7:30 am in the hot summer months. We always feed the dogs at this time, give them fresh water and clean their areas.

The dogs are lovely and fun to be with.

Every day can be different depending on what happens so flexibility is important.

The tasks can be hard but very satisfying. We need people who love dogs and want to take care of them, walk them, socialise with them and help them, you might walk up to 10 km with the dogs every day if you wish.

We also need people with social media, administration, building, maintenance and gardening skills. :)

Regeln

Bring clothes with you that you do not mind getting dirty & bring trainers/boots to work/walk in. It is humid here & can get wet in the winter, so waterproof foot wear would be good to bring with you. It is often cool in the morning and evenings, even in the summer, so warm clothes are a must too. Dogs bark at night so earplugs help.

We are quite isolated here so we have no mains water. We store our water from the winter rain. This means that we are very careful here with water usage. We ask you to keep showering to a minimum & turn off the water when you soap up & don't waste water. Also for drinking water you need to buy water (it costs less than 1€ for 6 litres)

Food is not included because unfortunately we do not have the funds to do this. Often volunteers meet up at lunchtime & in the evenings to cook & eat together in the communal space between the 2 large caravans.
