The shelter is an awesome experience! You'll get dirty, smelly and tired but when you look at happy and satisfied dogs at the end of your shift, it feels like it was completely worth it. I especially liked the clear schedule and structure the shelter offered me. There was never a situation, in which I didn't know what to do or where I have to be. I can definitely recommend this adventure for everyone who values community and meaning over a 5 Star Hotel!

My husband and I had an amazing time at the shelter! We met wonderful people, enjoyed meaningful and satisfying work with just the right amount of challenge and benefited from impressive organization and support system (clear tasks and expectations, direct and respectful communication). And - we loved the dogs so much! A tip for future volunteers - bring quick-drying clothing and footwear that can get wet (Crocs seemed ideal) because you will bathe dogs every shift (there are also pre-owned clothes that you can use). Sending love to the shelter family!

It was a pleasure to help at the shelter ! You will work with 36 dogs and help take care of them by cleaning their zones, bathing them, walking them and play with them. All the dogs are gentle, you will create a real bond with them. If you like dogs, this is a place for you ! The only thing is that it is far away from a city but every week we go one evening in the town. I had a really great time here, I loved being with the dogs every day and I miss them !!

Volunteering at the shelter was rewarding and meaningful. Tasks like feeding, walking, cleaning, and caring for dogs were well organized and fulfilling. The animals were a joy, and the volunteer atmosphere was warm and supportive. Accommodation is basic, with open bathrooms and insects—not luxurious but part of the experience. You'll get dirty quickly, especially when caring for disabled dogs, so bring durable clothes. Essentials like a washing machine are available, and the gift shop sells basics. This place is truly filled with love and care at every corner. I'd gladly return anytime! :)

A great experience all around, especially if you're a dog lover. Being able to build connections with the dogs and make an impact by helping the shelter run is rewarding and something I will always look back on. The volunteer team I worked with made the experience even better too

This was my second time at the shelter, and somehow it was even more special than the first. It's still the most heartwarming thing I've done while traveling—you can't help but fall in love with every single dog. This time I also got to help and support an amazing group of volunteers who truly care. the shelter has left a piece of itself with me. If you love dogs and want to make a real difference, you cannot miss this experience. Jazmine, the founder, is incredible and has worked tirelessly to help thousands of dogs through the shelter and VetVan. I'm incredibly grateful to her for everything.

Volunteering at the shelter really is an enriching experience🤩You're tasked with socialising with the dogs, walking + some minor cleaning. The dogs are so sweet and really appreciate all the time + energy from the shelter team. I'd defo recommend to anyone wanting to have a direct impact on animals' wellbeing as well as needing a break from the backpacking lifestyle. Some things to note to make sure this is the experience for you: it's very rural so any shops or anything out with the volunteer house can only be reached by motorbike. You work 6 days a week so bring a hard working attitude! :)

It was a really great experience — I'm very grateful that I got to spend so much time with the dogs, and I hope many of them will find their forever homes soon! I highly recommend this place if you want to get away from the city noise for a while and share your love with dogs.

Muttland is a peaceful place, far from mass tourism and surrounded by nature — and that isolation makes the experience deeply authentic. What makes it truly special is the founder's dedication: from the shelter to vet clinics and street rescues, everything is done with love and purpose. Caring for the dogs, bonding with them… it was moving and unforgettable. If you're looking for a raw, real, and heartfelt experience, Muttland will leave a mark on you. Thank you Jasmine for everything you're doing! You are an hero ❤️

The shelter is home to the most amazing and special dogs! The love that you feel there is incomparable to anywhere else. It feels so special to be able to have an impact on these dogs' lives. Jazmin has improved the quality of life for countless dogs in Thailand and has prevented so much suffering, and it was inspiring to learn from her! I am so grateful for this opportunity and everything I learned. It's hard to say goodbye, but I will definitely be back again.❤️
