My time at the the shelter was one full of learning and rewarding experiences. The work itself is tiring, repetitive and can be rather unpleasant. I enjoyed the time I got to spend with the dogs. On the other hand, I found Monica difficult to work with. Unfortunately, I ended my time at the the shelter earlier than planned due to Monica and other incidents that occurred. I felt unprepared for what I was getting myself into. Despite the difficulties, I felt that I learned a lot about myself, my resilience, and Romanian culture. I respect the work Monica does and will cherish the memories made.

Hard work but rewarding. If you go in the winter prepare for very cold nights and mornings

Very rewarding work, all of the dogs are wonderful and always so happy to receive belly rubs. The work is pretty easy but you will have to be thorough. Definitely recommend the the shelter, I felt like I made an impact on the animals. It was difficult to leave.. Monica was difficult in the beginning, she is under a lot of stress from many different things. After I learned enough Romanian to understand Monica without always needing a translator, she stopped being difficult. She is a wonderful woman if you just get to know her, but you are going to have to try hard.

It was my first experience in a the shelter and most of the things were new to me even though the tasks were easy, but tiring and repetitive sometimes, not to say dirty but it's what you applied for. I can say I managed the workload pretty well. Monica, however, has a bad temper, making it hard to get along with her at times, also the language barrier interferes and doesn't help. Despite this, I definitely enjoyed being surrounded by the animals in a beautiful location and I received lots of love from them.

Whilst staying at the the shelter I had the most amazing time looking after the dogs and spending time with them. It really is a rewarding place to volunteer as you can see the progress made by some of the newer dogs in terms of their confidence. However I would say I had a tricky time with Monica, there was a language barrier which made some things get lost in translation. As well as that she could be quite harsh which was probably brought on by the stress of looking after all the dogs however it meant that it was sometimes very hard to get along. That being said I would hugely recommend staying :)

The the shelter was a unique experience, the animals are wonderful and it is very nice to do something to improve their lives. The place has many needs and it is important to do our part to improve it. Monica can sometimes be a little harsh, but she is a good woman and she loves animals, she does what she can for them. The work is sometimes hard but you will be rewarded by the love that the dogs give you.

This was my first ever volunteering experience and I really enjoyed my time at the the shelter. Even though there is quite a lot of work, it's all really rewarding in the end when you get to see the dogs get adopted into new families. All the dogs are friendly with humans and most of them are really cuddly too. Communication with Monica can be a little difficult at times but once you learn the basics it's pretty easy to guess what it is Monica requires of you :)

Ive thoroughly enjoyed my time at the the shelter, the resources & money can be scarce but Monica does what she can and you can see how much she cares. She is very stubborn but very sweet if you take the time to get to know her properly. This is not for you if you want a place to stay while backpacking, this work is repetitive, messy and quite frankly hard work. You need to be prepared for anything. Dont do this if you just love animals, this can be mentally and physically exhausting especially if you havent done this before. It is a very rewarding job, i do recommend

Volunteering at the the shelter is a perfect experience for anyone who truly loves animals and is up for a challenge. For me the challenging part was the combination trying to build a good rapport with Monica despite the language barrier and dealing with the occasional stressful occurrences that are an integral part of life at the the shelter, both of which one has to deal with on top of the daily tasks like cleaning and feeding the dogs and their pens. That said, it is incredibly rewarding when you see abandoned dogs blossoming with care or when Monica thanks you for your efforts.
