Muttlands
Muttlands, located in the serene countryside of Rayong, is nestled amid nature and fruit trees, and conveniently close to mountains, beaches, lakes, and national parks. Home to over 40 delightful rescue pups, it offers a perfect active working vacation for dog lovers and nature enthusiasts alike.
This project is a part of VetVan Thailand - animal welfare organisation that prevents stray animals from suffering by spaying, rescuing and treating. It’s a non profit thats helped over 20,000 animals since late 2017.
You can help us in variety of ways - by dog care and cleaning as well as promoting us on social media or even small construction work - the choice is yours!
Volunteering here is a rewarding community experience unlike any other. You will immediately become a part of the family and feel at home. We love Volunteers to apply their super-powers - you will not be boxed in by ideals, rather encouraged to use your skills and passion to improve the lives of the animals. Volunteers just like you are our biggest asset!
As we're a charity organization, all money we get in donations go to the dogs. The fee we charge is solely to cover the costs of your stay, so we can keep helping the most vulnerable animals. We do not make any money on this project.
Food and accommodation provided, as well as unlimited puppy cuddles and entertainment :) We hope you'll love our Tribe!

About the experience in: Klaeng District, Thailand
Australia
What an incredible experience. My time at Muttlands has truly been fantastic. A must do for dog lovers who want to make a meaningful contribution during their travels. Great food with a wide variety of options, clean accommodation sharing with no more than one other person. Very fair shifts and distribution of easy work. And such a beautiful part of the world! You get to volunteer alongside an incredible team (Jazmin and Toon you are amazing), fantastic volunteers, and above all else the most gorgeous dogs that will stay in your heart for life.

I had a great time at Muttlands. It’s truly a special place with so many beautiful and unique dogs. The communication was great, it was always clear when your shifts were. The shifts themselves weren’t hard at all, leaving plenty of time to spend with the dogs! The accommodation is perfectly fine and the included food was very tasty!
I stayed for 2 weeks, beforehand I thought that would be plenty, but it was way too short! I would recommend staying at least 3 weeks. I will definitely return someday!

I absolutely enjoyed volunteering at Muttlands. Being able to help and play with the dogs is truly amazing.
What I also liked is the structure. It was very clear what you had to do at what time. When you had a lunch break, when you were done for the day.
The room itself was very basic, but I understand that. I mean you do have everything you need.
For the food there were options for vegan, vegetarian and chicken so that's good. Was a bit spicy, but alright.
The host, Jazmine, does an incredble job. The way she looks after the dogs! Overall I would highly recommend volunteering at Muttlands

I had the most incredible 10 weeks as volunteer lead at Muttlands. I can’t articulate how incredible this place is, but once you’ve been, you will understand exactly what I mean. The owner and manager are incredibly passionate about what they do and this shows. The dogs are so loved and despite being rescues they feel like pets. As long as you don’t mind a bit of hard work and getting dirty then this experience is for you. I can promise you one thing, it will feel impossible to leave, and from personal experience you’ll already be planning your next trip back!

Muttlands 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 Muttlands 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!
