The work was physical but short and easy
Feeding the dogs, cleaning up poop, taking them out for a walk and cooking food for the next day
Once it turned out that they couldn't pick us up from the shelter so we returned by public transportation
Each of the volunteers put a dollar for toilet paper fot the house

Thank you to Michael for the close support, guidance, explanations and a lot of patience
At the shelter and in the house

This is an amazing place that Renato the veterinarian runs and rescues dogs from difficult situations and gives them a home

I recommend it to dog lovers among us🐶

I had a great time looking after the dogs and cats! The shelter is in the rainforest so the weather changes quite often from rainy to sunny so be prepared to get your hands dirty! The role involved feeding the dogs, cleaning their cages, walking them, prepare their food, generally look out for them and make them as comfortable as you can with the resources you have. The hours were roughly 9am till 12:30pm each day meaning loads of time to yourself in the afternoon. I used my time to improve my Spanish by going to a local teacher. If anyone has any questions, drop me a message!

Excelente experiencia! Los anfitriones muy amables y atentos a todo detalle, los compañeros que me tocaron hicieron que la convivencia fuera muy linda, y el trabajo con los animales es todo lo que está bien, tanto en la casa como en el refugio, ya los extraño! 100% recomendable para todo aquel que quiera hacer un voluntariado ahí, les deseo lo mejor! 🙌🏽

La labor que realizan Inga y Renato en este refugio es realmente admirable. Son casi 60 perritos y casi 20 gatitos.
Aquí se alimenta, se limpia, se pasea y, sobre todo, se ama. Hay perritos que llevan hasta 6 años esperando ser adoptados, pero aún así son felices, porque en este lugar encuentran un verdadero hogar. Inga es muy organizada, y como voluntarios seguimos sus indicaciones con respeto y mucho amor.

Ven a colaborar, porque cada gesto cuenta. Y ellos te lo agradecerán con sus colitas moviéndose, sus saltos de alegría y todo el amor que tienen por dar.
