Luca has been a returning volunteer with us many times, and having her back for another two weeks was genuinely rewarding. She is always an exceptional help—responsible, compassionate, and fully engaged in every task. Her gentle approach and steady presence mean a lot to Rafiki, one of our most challenging and solitary dog, with whom she spends generous time and patience. We deeply appreciate Luca’s ongoing dedication and the warmth he brings to our shelter each time he returns.

I had a great time and enjoyed working with the dogs! I had really fine contact with the other girls I shared the house with. Loule is nearby, easily to reach by a little walk. It is a really nice little town. I spent a wonderfull time at ARA. Thanks everybody and give a lot of hugs to the dogs from me, I will really miss them ❤️ maybe I will ever come back…

ARA is my home away from home. It's my favourite place on earth and I am so grateful I found it and can keep returning. The team does an incredible job in caring for and rehoming animals no matter their background and it is a privilege to contribute to this mission as a volunteer.

Having volunteered several times before, she once again proved to be an exceptional, dedicated, and reliable volunteer. Minne always offered her help with enthusiasm and kindness, often giving her time even during her free hours. Her positive attitude, initiative, and genuine care for both the animals and the team made a real difference every day. It was a pleasure to have her with us again

My first trip to ARA was amazing and now I know why so many people return. I really enjoyed the tasks, meeting new people and connecting with the animals. Also, the local town of Loulé is beautiful with great cafes and bars. Can't wait to go back!

My experience at ARA has been absolutely amazing. The shelter is so well organized and volunteers are prepared and trained before and during their stay. I have enjoyed working with all the other volunteers and the lovely animals every day. I was also happily surprised that we got training from a professional trainer every week to help us to better guide the dogs in preparation for adoption. Being together with so many other international volunteers from all regions and all ages has been an enriching experience. I will definitely come back to ARA in the future!

I had a wonderful time at ARA! This was my first Worldpackers experience, so I was a bit nervous at first, but it turned out even better than I could have imagined. I met incredible, like-minded volunteers and staff members who truly love what they do from the bottom of their hearts. Spending time with the dogs, learning about their stories, and helping to care for them was deeply fulfilling. The two weeks flew by so fast, and if I could, I would've stayed longer.. but I'll definitely be back! Special thanks to Paul for making everyone feel welcome and always being there for the volunteers!
