We’ve been at AnimalWellnessTrust for 2 weeks and had a very good time. The dogs and cats are all super cute and you get so much love from them, that you end up wanting to take every single one home. We really enjoyed our stay here and the team was very kind and helped with everything if needed. We would definitely recommend this experience to everyone, especially if you love animals. And don’t worry if you don’t have much experience with dogs yet, it will all work out :)

Thank you for letting us stay with you, it was an unforgettable experience !

I had an amazing time volunteering here.
The tasks are intense at first but you get use to it after a couple days.
I loved spending time with all the dogs and giving them love.
Getting dirty and sweaty was apart of the job and I enjoyed it all.
I made many great friends and would fully recommend.
Only things that were hard was the constant barking sometimes and that there are a lot of sick dogs that need a lot of help. But that’s what I was there for. I tried to give as much attention to the animals as I could.

I volunteered at this animal shelter for dogs and cats, helping with cleaning the enclosures and feeding the animals twice a day. The work is meaningful and well explained.
The people are very kind and welcoming, and I felt comfortable right away. The shelter is a bit far from the beach, which I found challenging at first, but you can easily order a PickMe, and sometimes the driver took us after the last feeding. In the end, the quiet location helped me slow down and ground after traveling.
I would definitely recommend this experience, especially if you love animals and want a calm envoirment.
