My two weeks at ARA were absolutely amazing! The staff were always kind and supportive, and I had the chance to work together with many wonderful volunteers from all around the world. Getting to know and spending time with all the lovely dogs and cats felt incredibly rewarding, and I enjoyed every second of it. I highly recommend doing this volunteering experience and would love to return someday!

An incredibly special place - I would 100% recommend going to ARA & definitely plan to return! The staff are super dedicated, and they really do appreciate all the support. The facilities are great with so much space for the animals and you do truly feel like you make an impact being there. I was so impressed with how organised it is at ARA, it's so easy to slot in as a volunteer and get stuck in as they have really clear schedules, tasks & everything is stored in such an accessible way. I really did fall in love with the place, the charm of the staff & the doggos - an absolute must go!

Issy volunteered with us for two weeks and was a great volunteer! She was always offering to help with everything — from caring for the dogs and cats to cleaning and organizing. Her energy, positivity, and reliability made a real difference every day. She’s also a fantastic cleaner, both in the shelter and in the accommodation, keeping everything spotless and welcoming. The animals adored her gentle nature, and so did we! We’re so grateful for her hard work, kindness, and great attitude.

ARA has been my home away from home. I loved every second of volunteering there. The animals are all very well taken care of and I'm proud I could participate in this for a few weeks. Had the privilege of meeting a lot of very lovely people during my stay. I'll definitely be back!!

I had a truly amazing experience at ARA. From the very first minute, I felt so welcomed and included. The staff is incredibly kind, supportive, and dedicated, and working with all the dogs and cats was an absolute joy. It's by far the most well-organised shelter I've ever seen – everything is done with so much love and heart for the animals. Thank you for everything. I already can't wait to come back!

Lilli was a wonderful volunteer during her 4-week stay at our shelter. Always cheerful and kind, she brought a calm and positive energy that made a big impact. She created a beautiful bond with Yeshua, one of our more overlooked dogs, showing him patience, affection, and trust. Her dedication and gentle nature didn’t go unnoticed, and the animals truly benefited from her presence. We’re very thankful for her time with us and would be happy to welcome her back anytime!

If you are considering this opportunity, do it! And make sure to stay longer than 2 weeks, as it is not long enough:( Everything exceeded my expectations from the facilities, the staff, the volunteers and the even the work. Everything is super clear and straight forward and you are given so much time off. There's also a lot of beautiful places in the surrounding area that you can visit with all your new friends:) I'll be back again next year and i'm counting down the days❤️❤️i've made memories for life here and i'll never forget the doggies and cats (and goats😂)

Having Ina with us for four weeks was an absolute joy. This was her third time volunteering at our shelter, and each time she comes back, she brings the same dedication, warmth, and incredible work ethic. Ina knows the rhythm of the shelter so well that she jumps right in. She cares for the dogs and cats with genuine love and patience, and she’s always ready to help wherever it's needed. Her calm, reliable presence makes a big difference both for the animals and for the team. Thank you Ina
