Helen is an easy to talk person and a great and fair host. Being surrounded by dogs was a great experience for me, but be aware that these are rescued dogs, most of them had been through a lot, so you must proceed carefully, fully aware of the instructions you're given and with a lot of respect for these fluffy friends. Nevertheless you will received as much love as you give them :). Thank you Helen for let me participate in such enriching experience.

This was a very nice experience. The dogs at the shelter are happy and well taken care of. The hours are fair and as agreed upon, and the work was not very demanding. I had a good time with all the sweet doggies. Helen is easy to talk to for anything,and the house I stayed in was clean and comfy, with a full fridge. All in all I can really recommend this place !

I really enjoyed my experience volunteering in Helens shelter, all the dogs were very lovely and friendly, I loved spending time with them while walking and caring for them. The tasks were pretty easy and understandable, the same routine repeats every day so it was always clear what to do. Thank you Helen for welcoming me and giving opportunity to gain new knowledge about dogs! I definitely recommend this experience for all animal and nature lovers😁

I would like to thank Helen very much. I really enjoyed this experience, it was very productive and I think I matured a lot. The dogs are very lovable, I am taking each one of them in my heart. I miss them so much, maybe at that moment I just wanted to go back in time and pet them, talk and take them for a walk. If you like animals, please stay at this sanctuary for at least a month, it will be very good for you and the animals. I really loved everything and was able to learn English with Helen and the other volunteers. I would like to thank the volunteer Floor and Jet, they helped me a lot ❣️

This was my first worldpackers experience and i really enjoyed helping to look after all the different dogs. The dogs are really sweet (especially the puppies) and the routine is the same everyday, which makes it easy to get used to. I was provided with a private room and was picked up and dropped off at the train station which was very helpful. Some dogs may bite and the village is extremely remote, with very few shops nearby but overall I would highly recommend to anyone who loves dogs.

Calling all dog lovers! If you love dogs and hate seeing them mistreated this is the best place where you're hands on and helping in a very small remote village. I had a really good time at the shelter she really loves the dogs and looked after us all asking what we needed her to buy on the weekly shop and we had a private room each! I would stress it's early mornings , (lotta poo duty!) and you will be tired in the days… but it's really worth it if the reason you're there is for the doggos!

We stayed with my boyfriend for a month, Helen was very kind to us, she even picked us up at the train station and took us back the day we left. Puppies and dogs are the sweetest thing in the world. It was a very beautiful experience and a lot of learning. Our fellow volunteers made the experience even better. We are very grateful and the shelter to visit them again one day. Thanks for everything!

This was my first Worldpackers experience and I loved every minute of it. Helen is lovely and makes you really feel at home, plus I learned a lot from her passion and commitment in what she does. The dogs are amazing and spending time with them brings joy. Also I met some others volunteers and had the opportunity to exchange and learning from them too. I would recommend to anyone this experience, but must be open to learn new tasks and be proactive to get to best out of it.

This was my first Worldpackers experience and I can surely say that it was a lovely experience. If you would like to spend time with dogs and meet new people but at the same time spend alone time in the small forest in a small village and enjoy being with yourself this is a great opportunity for you. the shelter is a lovely place to stay and I assure you that you will bring some lovely memories from this place :)

My experience here was awesome, I worked with a couple of other volunteers at the time and it felt like a little family. The dogs obviously are gorgeous and it was lovely getting to spend all day with them and get to know them all. At times it did feel like we had more responsibility than what was originally outlined, as some dogs need almost constant supervision. However it was not too bad as it's in quite a remote place so the dogs are the best thing around. Definitely a very special place and the work Helen does is incredible! Thank you for the experience!!
