Wir hatten eine wunderschöne Zeit bei das Tierheim, was nicht nur an den unfassbar liebenswerten Hunden lag, sondern auch an dem herzlichen Team vor Ort und den anderen Volunteers mit denen wir zusammen leben durften❤️Die Anlage ist mitten in der Natur und so kann man außerhalb vom Arbeiten gut zur Ruhe kommen. Mit der Unterbringung waren wir vollkommen zufrieden, man muss sich aber bewusst machen, dass es keine westlichen Toiletten im Zimmer gibt. Aktivitäten gab es einige, dafür muss man aber entweder ein Motorrad mieten oder ein Taxi bestellen.

It was an incredible experience! Meet the other volunteers, create links, the staff is great! And taking care of dogs every day, playing, walking them, cuddling them, cleaning them of course was great! Giving them love every day is great. I stayed 1 month but I should have stayed there longer. Thank you to the whole team for your welcome and kindness!

This was my first volunteering experience so I was a little nervous going into it but the staff and other volunteers were so welcoming and made it feel like home away from home. Jaz has created such an amazing place for the dogs it's truly unexplainable. The place is even better than you can imagine and they truly have the dogs as the main priority. I couldn't recommend this experience more, it's very well organized and well kept. Such an amazing place!!!

As a first time world packer I couldn't have asked for a better welcoming than what was provided to me at the shelter. The staff were amazing and the volunteering (and dogs) were even better. Jaz provided an organized manual which was much appreciated as well as a homely environment, which is an absolute necessity when volunteering abroad. Absolutely recommend!

The dogs are adorable and Marion, Toon and all the staff are doing an AMAZING job at running the shelter. I unfortunately didn't have the best experience, with instances such as scorpions in my room, unhygienic outdoor bathrooms, very long hours on very hot days (it's minimum ~40/42hrs a week, not 32) and unrealistic expectations of volunteers to understand what to do immediately. I think there is a lot of stress behind the project which puts strain on the volunteers who are trying their best, hence my rating of 3. I made some really good friends here but I don't think it was the place for me

Unfortunately, many parts are untrue. Our shifts are 5.5–6 hours per day, excluding breaks, with a maximum of around 36 hours per week, usually less. You were never scheduled beyond this. Other claims are also untrue and do not reflect reality. While I was not always on-site, our four-person team and manager provide full support. I was focused on our VetVan mission, helping 884 dogs in January alone. Thats my priority. We take honest feedback seriously but don’t appreciate dishonesty

I really enjoyed my time at the shelter. Getting to know all the sweet dogs, gain their trust, and help to care for them was incredibly rewarding. It's evident the dogs are all very well looked after and loved. The staff and lead volunteer are amazing and you can tell everyone's hearts are in it! It was also a great chance to meet other volunteers! I was disappointed with Jazmin's involvement; she was never really around and made it clear she didn't find the shelter as important as other endeavours. Unfortunately there's minimal appreciation shown to the volunteers which was disheartening

Thanks for your review. While I was not always physically present, we have a 4person team, including a supportive manager. During your stay, I was focused on our primary mission through VetVan, spaying and protecting hundreds of stray dogs and preventing future suffering. In January alone, this work has helped transform the lives of 884 dogs. Apologies if you expected more of my attention. The dogs will always remain my priority

My stay at the shelter was my first Worldpackers experience, and I couldn't have asked for a better one. The dogs are genuinely loved, and you learn so much about caring for them while getting to know each of their unique personalities. Everything is well-organized, which makes the experience smooth and enjoyable. Jazmin's work is truly inspiring, and the staff working there do an amazing job caring for the dogs. If you love dogs and enjoy being around them, this place will feel like heaven!! The hardest part of this volunteering experience is leaving.

My time spent at the shelter was an incredibly positive and rewarding experience that I will never forget. The level of care and compassion shown to the dogs is truly outstanding. Every animal is treated with patience, respect, and genuine love, and their well-being is always the top priority. Seeing the dedication behind the scenes gave me a deep appreciation for the work this shelter does every day. Nothing would be possible without Jazmin, she is truly an inspiration and a hero to these dogs ❤️ I hope to come back soon :)

The shelter was a surreal experience. The dogs are all so cute, the staff there were so lovely and what Jazmin has set up is truly amazing. I had a motorbike so when I wasn't volunteering I was doing a Muay thai camp, going to the beach or cafe hopping. It was the perfect break from travelling, and I made so many lovely volunteers who I will be in touch with outside the volunteering. The thai staff made us food on fridays which was unbelievable and we had something going on most nights. Most importantly, someone come and adopt Tank for me!!

I had the most incredible time volunteering at the shelter. I came in with high expectations, but nothing could have prepared me for how truly special and unique this place is. The whole team is amazing—so welcoming and so devoted to the dogs. The dogs themselves are gorgeous, and it was a privilege to learn their stories and build connections with each of them. If you love dogs and don't mind getting a little dirty, this is the experience for you. I can assure you the shelter gives back every bit of care you offer, and you'll leave with an incredibly full heart.
