La experiencia

We are an animal sanctuary located in the beautiful hills of Messines. Currently we house and care for dogs, pigs, cats, sheep, goats, horses and a donkey named Olaf. We started the sanctuary as a family on our own property. It became our mission to help the helpless. Therefore, we try to rescue and take in any animal in need.

Your job is to support us in the daily care of our animals. After feeding and cleaning, there will be time for cuddles.

Programa detallado

You will sleep in one of our cosy tents in a beautiful orange grove in the Portuguese countryside. Our newly created Volunteer's camping side is separate from the sanctuary itself, but on the same grounds. It has an outdoor kitchen area, an outdoor cold shower facility and a simple tented camping toilet set up.
There will be other Volunteers in tents or their Camper vans with you in that Volunteer's area. With the Volunteers from all around the world, we and you learn from each other about different cultures.
With the daily tasks, you will learn about animal life and rescue in Portugal.
If you are handy, we would be happy if you help improve our facilities for the animals or volunteers.
You will have the opportunity to explore the Algarve beaches on your days off.

Reglas

One of the key rules for an extraordinary experience for all of us, including the animals, is respect. For the animals, other volunteers and the environment.
The Algarve is a region struggling with drought. Scarce water resources are just as big a problem as forest fires. Therefore, fires of any kind are prohibited, and water consumption should be cautious and sustainable. This is especially true in the dry (rain-free) months (March to November, sometimes even December).
Please do not post pictures of any animal without asking.
