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!

The dogs are adorable and Marion, Toon and all the staff are doing an AMAZING job at running Muttlands. I unfortunately didn’t have the best experience, with instances such as scorpions in my room, unhygienic outdoor bathrooms, very long hours on very hot days (it’s minimum ~40/42hrs a week, not 32) and unrealistic expectations of volunteers to understand what to do immediately. I think there is a lot of stress behind the project which puts strain on the volunteers who are trying their best, hence my rating of 3. I made some really good friends here but I don’t think it was the place for me

It was an incredible experience! Meet the other volunteers, create links, the staff is great! And taking care of dogs every day, playing, walking them, cuddling them, cleaning them of course was great! Giving them love every day is great. I stayed 1 month but I should have stayed there longer. Thank you to the whole team for your welcome and kindness!

This was my first volunteering experience so I was a little nervous going into it but the staff and other volunteers were so welcoming and made it feel like home away from home. Jaz has created such an amazing place for the dogs it’s truly unexplainable. The place is even better than you can imagine and they truly have the dogs as the main priority. I couldn’t recommend this experience more, it’s very well organized and well kept. Such an amazing place!!!

As a first time world packer I couldn’t have
asked for a better welcoming than what was provided to me at Muttlands. The staff were amazing and the volunteering (and dogs) were even better. Jaz provided an organized manual which was much appreciated as well as a homely environment, which is an absolute necessity when volunteering abroad. Absolutely recommend!

Wir hatten eine wunderschöne Zeit bei Muttlands, was nicht nur an den unfassbar liebenswerten Hunden lag, sondern auch an dem herzlichen Team vor Ort und den anderen Volunteers mit denen wir zusammen leben durften❤️Die Anlage ist mitten in der Natur und so kann man außerhalb vom Arbeiten gut zur Ruhe kommen. Mit der Unterbringung waren wir vollkommen zufrieden, man muss sich aber bewusst machen, dass es keine westlichen Toiletten im Zimmer gibt. Aktivitäten gab es einige, dafür muss man aber entweder ein Motorrad mieten oder ein Taxi bestellen.
