My stay at Nelly and Franco's shelter has been absolutely amazing. They are such kind open minded people, the nature around is BEAUTIFUL and of course the dogs are the cutest creatures on earth. You really feel like you're having a positive impact volunteering here and you wake up in the morning with a purpose. I would recommend to any dog or in general nature lover to come to this place. If you're thinking about volunteering at the shelter don't hesitate to contact me for more informations; I would be more than happy to explain all the details etc ❤️ This place is truly incredible

Neli, Franco and the lovely dogs. This is all I could think about when reviewing my experience in this place. Wonderful work, the host puts a lot of time and energy to make this planet a better place. Homeless dogs that are cared for and get adopted. If you want to make a difference on this planet, this is the wright place for you. Experiența mea ca și român a fost cu de toate. Un lucru bun: comunicarea a fost plăcută in limba romana. Un lucru rău: am atras antipatie si gelozie din cauza acestui lucru. Nu te astepta sa primești tratament preferențial din cauza ca esti roman!

I had the most fulfilling experience here! Nely and Franco were kind and welcoming hosts. You can feel the love, dedication, and hard work that they put into this place. If you have unconditional love for dogs and are open minded and respectful then this is the place for you. All the animals have such unique personalities and it was so much fun to bond with them. You will be exposed to the elements and get dirty but that's part of the fun. It's located in a beautiful remote area and it was so nice to enjoy a simpler lifestyle. I'm so grateful for this experience and all the memories I made!

Absolutely loved the shelter. It makes such a difference for the dogs, everyday you work, you can see the dogs coming out of their shells and their personalities really shine! The people you meet along the way are incredible. I loved the area, it is a little in the middle of nowhere, but Franco is so generous with driving you places if you ask nicely. Make sure you go to the Bakery/ Cafe in Sasi! I m is the dogs everyday, and can't wait to go back!

I had a truly incredible time!! The work can be physical but it's so rewarding and all the dogs are so cute and love a cuddle! The volunteer house is very cozy, and cooking dinners and play cards with the other volunteers really added to the experience! Both Franco and Nelly are so lovely and the Sunday lunches are amazing! I can't wait to return one day!

I can't believe my time at the shelter has already come to an end. This was my second time volunteering and definitely wont be my last. I love working with the dogs and getting to know the other volunteers. The work is hard but it's worth it. Nellie and Franco are amazing hosts and even better cooks. I will forever treasure my experience here.

I had such a nice time!!! I have met so many awesome people, Neli and Franco are great people. Franco is very friendly and helpful, and Neli is a loving person that you can learn a lot from just by observing her love for all the dogs in the shelter. Of course other volunteers are crucial for the best experience and i have met so many cool people with cool stories, and i hope to meet them again somewhere on my way into the world. Thank you Neli and Franco, and all the friends i made on the way. I will be back for sure when i have a chance! See you! ♥️

The care of the dogs at the shelter is incredible. They are very well looked after, and the work is hard but satisfying. I had to leave early due to the unsanitary conditions of the volunteer shelter (live and dead mice, mouse droppings in the kitchen, bird nests on the roof, no windows.). I would have liked more information/photos about the installation and for both hosts (Franco and Nelly) to be there. I spoke with Nelly about my departure and there was good communication. Thank you for the great work and effort in caring for the dogs. If the conditions were better I would stayed the time❤️

I can't even describe how right and perfect this experience for was me. Everyone who arrives there or is already there dedicates their whole day just for the dogs, and it shows. All the volunteers I got to know there are amazing, and I enjoyed every moment with them. The hosts were lovely and respected to every request I had. Every morning we wake up to physical work includes amazing therapy by cleaning dogs cages and walks with a friend or by myself, and when I finished the work (exactly at 1:00 pm every day), I felt tired but satisfied every day again.

I had such a great experience here. This was my first ever worldpackers and I was not disappointed. Hours and work was good. It is very physical work, but its nice to be active. The afternoons were very chill. The dogs are so good and I loved being with multiple amazing vollenteers.
