It was my first time at ARA and I knew from the very first day, I'm definitely coming back again!! From the beginning I felt very welcomed from the staff and the other volunteers. All of them are so heartwarming nice and lovely to everyone and the animals. You can feel how loved and well-treated the cats and dogs are and how everyone cares for their well-being. The “work” ain't work at all and it's more fun and relaxing than anything else:) I connected with so friendly people and we had a very nice time 😊 I am definitely recommending ARA to everyone!!:)

Volunteering at ARA was one of the most rewarding experiences I've ever had. From day one, I felt welcomed by the incredibly friendly and helpful staff, and the amazing group of volunteers. The facility itself is neatly maintained. The dogs are so well cared for, ARA is truly a place where they are safe, loved, and given the best chance for a better life. I learned so much during my time there and enjoyed every moment, whether it was walking the dogs, or just spending time giving them love and attention. I'm looking forward to coming back. Thank you ARA, for everything you do.

From the very beginning, she demonstrated a deep sense of responsibility, compassion, and dedication to the well-being of the animals in our care. Her calm and gentle demeanor made her a natural with even the most timid or anxious animals, and her patience went a long way in helping build trust with them. We are incredibly grateful for her contribution and would welcome her back at any time.

We are beyond thankful for the incredible work Asla has done at our animal shelter, particularly with some of our most challenging canine residents. Working with dogs who have behavioral issues, fear, or a history of trauma is never easy—but Asla approaches each case with extraordinary patience, skill, and heart.Her calm demeanor, intuitive understanding of dog behavior, and unwavering commitment to their well-being have made a remarkable difference. Asla never backs down from a challenge

This was my second time here at ARA. I cannot reccomend this place enough. This place is so special to me, spending time socialising, walking and training all these animals is so rewarding and more importantly so great for the animals in preparation for adoption. I will continue to come to ARA as often as I can. The staff are really helpful and accommodating, everyone works together as a team and you get to also meet so many other volunteers to share this special experience with. Thankyou everyone at ARA
