About the experience in: Puyo, Ecuador
Belgium
If you love dogs and want to make a meaningful contribution, this is a great place to volunteer. the work at the shelter is short but quite intensive still, I enjoyed getting up every morning to help out. You have the afternoons free, so I often spent them exploring the town, going to the gym, or relaxing with the dogs at the house. I already miss them! 🐶❤️ I truly appreciate Inga and Renato for their kindness and the amazing work they do to help the animals.

Es nuestra primera experiencia en un refugio de perritos, la cual fue muy linda en todo momento, nuestra importancia por ayudar a los amigos de 4 patitas llenandolos con mucho cariño y amor.
La mejor parte del voluntariado es sacarlos a pasear y verlos divertirse correr y jugar.
Muchas gracias Inga y Renato por formar parte de su hermoso proyecto en el santuario y refugio de perritos.
Muchas exitos para todos y que los perritos encuentren un nuevo hogar. ❤️

La fundación Amigos Fieles en un hermoso proyecto de ayuda y cuidado a perritos que son abandonados. Como voluntarios colaboramos en alimentar, limpiar y sacar a pasear a los perritos del refugio. Es una labor llena de gratificación y amor, Inga y Renato han sido excelentes anfitriones. También hemos podido intercambiar experiencias con otros voluntarios y aprender junto a ellos las funciones del refugio y pasarla muy bien en la convivencia.
Muchas gracias por todo! ♥️🙌🏻☀️🐶

Perfect for dog lovers!! We really enjoyed our stay here, Inga and Renato are great people who really care about you and the animals, they always went out of there to make us feel welcome.
It rains a lot in Puyo so it can get very dirty and even though the shift is 4 hours it’s quite tiring, but it is so rewarding knowing that you are making a difference to the amazing dogs. They also have more gorgeous dogs and cats where you stay. Puyo itself has lots to do, there are local communities and waterfalls and rivers nearby, you just need to do a bit of research.

It was a really beautiful experience volunteering at Amigos Fieles! It is hard work and you get your hands dirty but it is so worth it. The hours are not bad, only 3-4 a day, so after you have a lot of free time and you have 2 days off. During my time in Puyo I got to explore a lot of the jungle and nature surrounding the city which was incredible. Inga and Renato are great people to work with and very hard workers. I would recommend this opportunity to anyone who loves animals and wildlife and doesn’t mind being covered in muddy paw prints:)
