Sara stayed with us for two weeks and was a wonderful volunteer from start to finish.Always cheerful and smiling,she brought such positive energy to the shelter.She spent a lot of time with Brutus, one of our dogs who needs attention, and it was niceto see the bond they created. Sara was hardworking, responsible, and never hesitated to help wherever it was needed.What impressed us most was that she even worked on the day of her departure, showing true dedication.We are very grateful for her work

This was my third time at ARA and it definitely won't be the last time. The shelter is truly amazing. Once more I was impressed to see that everything is given for the animals. The staff take very good care of the volunteers, organize the shifts very well and you can tell that your work is appreciated. I enjoyed every second of working here, whether it was cleaning, walking the dogs or socialising with the animals. You also have plenty of free time. ARA will always have a special place in my heart and I will come back as soon as possible! I can't recommend volunteering at ARA highly enough.

We were so fortunate to have Stefanie volunteer with us at the shelter. She is an incredibly proactive and responsible volunteer who always went above and beyond what was asked of her. Not only did she handle her tasks with great care, but she also took the initiative to fix and improve things around the shelter.Stefanie has a natural gift with animals – patient, gentle, and attentive – and it was clear how much the animals trusted and loved her. She was always punctual and very hard working

ARA is a wonderful place that lovingly cares for so many dogs and cats without families. I was truly impressed by the excellent organization and the quality of care provided to the pets. The working hours during the shifts were always respected. I'm happy to have contributed for two weeks in a beautiful shelter with such a noble purpose. Congratulations to the whole ARA team for the amazing work you do. It was a pleasure to meet you and contribute! Best of luck, and keep it up!

We are grateful for Clara’s time and dedication as a volunteer at our animal shelter. She is reliable, friendly, and committed to the well-being of the dogs. Clara went above and beyond to spend extra time with the dogs, taking them out for walks, trips to town, or even to the beach so they can enjoy a fun and enriching day. Her care, patience, and hard work made a difference in the lives of the animals here. Clara’s genuine love for animals shine through.

Well this was my first solo/ volunteer experience and it certainly won't be my last here. I had the most amazing 2 weeks having met so many amazing people and getting to work around such sweet dogs and cats. ARA is run so well everything is just amazing, the staff are wonderful and make you feel very welcome, you have plenty of freedom between shifts to do what you please such as socialising with the dogs/ cats or exploring what's around. Honestly I could not recommend this place more thank you so much for such a wonderful experience and I hope you would have me back at a later date ❤️

Jessica is a great volunteer! She is always proactive, reliable, and eager to help wherever she’s needed. Her positive attitude and friendly nature brighten every day—she’s consistently in a good mood and brings great energy to the team. Most importantly, Jessica has a wonderful way with our animals. She’s gentle, patient, and attentive, and it’s clear how much they respond to her care. We feel so lucky to have her as part of our volunteer community and hope she will be back.

ARA is a special place, that I was able to visit for the third time now. You really get the feeling that your work matters and helps the animals. The team of the staff does great work. A plus is of course, that you get to meet so many new friends - and if it's not your first time - meet so many old friends again!

Ricarda is a highly valued volunteer. She is responsible, reliable, and always goes above and beyond what is asked. She often takes extra walks, spends additional time with the dogs, and shows remarkable patience with those considered more difficult. Ricarda’s dedication and positive attitude shine through in everything she does, and both our team and the animals truly benefit from her efforts. She is hardworking, compassionate, and always willing to help wherever needed. We are very grateful

I had the opportunity to spend some time at ARA and I am incredibly grateful for this experience. The shelter is run with so much passion and dedication, and you can immediately feel how important the animals' wellbeing is here. The staff and volunteers are very friendly, supportive, and always do their best for every single the shelter. For me personally, it was a truly enriching time – I not only learned a lot about working with animals (to my surprise, there are even dog training sessions with a professional trainer, Hugo, twice a week), but I also met wonderful people! Thx for everything

Tara volunteered at our dogs and cats shelter for two weeks, with much of her time dedicated to caring for the kittens. She was attentive to their needs, patient in handling them, and quick to notice any changes in their behavior or health. Alongside her work with the kittens, she supported the team in other daily tasks, showing reliability and a positive attitude. Her efforts made a clear difference in the well-being of the youngest animals in our care. We hope to welcome her back!

We are so grateful to have Hidde back volunteering with us for the second time! From the moment he arrived, his positive attitude and warm personality made such a difference. He is always in a good mood, brings great energy to the team, and works exceptionally well. Hidde is reliable, hardworking, and a real pleasure to be around. His kindness and dedication shine through in everything he does, and we feel very lucky to have his support at the shelter.

One of the best experiences of my life! A very welcoming team who cared about the well-being of the volunteers and our accommodation. The working hours are very well adapted to the heat (we work early mornings and evenings). You're immersed in a world of enthusiasts who love what they do and know how to pass on their respect and love for animals.

Ambre joined us as a volunteer for two weeks and quickly became a valued member of the volunteer team. She showed great kindness and dedication, always approaching her tasks with a positive and caring attitude. During her stay in the trailer, she took special care of Temu, our elderly blind cat, giving him not only the attention he needed but also a lot of affection and patience. Ambre’s gentle presence and reliability made a real difference for both the animals and the team.
