Dogshelter Casa viva

This is the right place for people who is interersted in charity work and animal care. Dogs need a lot of care and love, also people to cook for them, clean their spaces, give food and shower, spend time with them, going for a walk and so on.
Duties require physical effort and empathy but the reward is 100% resturned by dogs love.

We are an intercultural marriage we have a nice dog Shelter having currently around 80 dogs located in the mountain area of Peru (Carhuaz) altitute about 2700 m located 35 minutes from Huaraz. We started this project on November 2021 after many pets were abandonned due to pandemic crisis. This project is part of a private charity. We also own a beautiful Eco Hotel, the income of hotel is destinated to cover dog shelter expenses. In hotel we grow trees and have small farm chickens, rabbits, alpacas, gueese and dogs ( they are only pet, we are vegetarian). Some areas of eco hotel are designated to host volunteers so is mandatory to keep order and cleanliness Sometimes we organize pizzanights and pool parties to spend the time togueter

I volunteered at Casa Viva for a month and had the most wonderful time. Kishor and Jessica offer a family-style environment with lots of group interactions and joint meals. I especially enjoyed the pizza nights! The work is physical and hard but I felt appreciated by everyone, plus all the dogs are incredible. We also took some of the dogs and did the Laguna 513 hike which was a great day out. I really loved my time at Casa Viva and it was very hard to say goodbye. I’m sure it won’t be the last time I volunteer here!

This was a wonderful experience. Hard work. But wonderful. So much love from the dogs everyday and so many opportunities to spend time with them besides the work at the shelter!

A big thanks to Kishor and Jessica for creating this space, sharing your knowledge, all the fun evenings and for making me feel welcomed 😊

The work being done at Casa Viva is incredible for the dogs in the community. The ~90 dogs at the shelter are well looked after and loved by both the owners, Kishor and Jessica, and the volunteers. Although the work can be dirty (lots of cleaning dog poo) it’s immensely important to the dogs and is absolutely worth it for them.

Kishor and Jessica additionally provide an extremely welcoming environment for volunteers by providing lunches, morning snacks, and occasionally dinners with volunteer assistance. Overall it’s a nice and friendly place to care for the dogs, hike, and meet travellers

At first I wanted to stay two weeks but then I ended up staying almost two months. That says already a lot. :)

If you want to come to Casa Viva be prepared to really work.

Most of us it takes 2-3 days to get really comfortable, at the beginning you get many information about the dogs. And it feels like you will never remember all, but you will. And there is always someone who is happy to help you if you aren't sure about something.
And even it's not an easy work it's a amazing place and you will get paid with lots of love ❤️

And Jessica and Kishor are amazing people!

I'll be back.
