The experience

We run a Dogs Centre in Liguria (council of Albisola Superiore) around a big land deep in the Nature. We are improving our buildings and spaces, so we need an extra help with maintenance, gardening and dogs care. The tasks are pretty physical and it can be tough if you are not used to it.

Program Details

We run a Dog Centre in a big green propriety. The volunteers are welcome to enjoy gardening, maintenance and fruit garden programs; people that will show to have good connection and skills with animals could also help in dogs care. The tasks can be very physical, so make sure that you can become use to it.

The volunteers share a house netx to our own home; rooms, kitchen, living room and bathroom to share. WiFi available. We do not serve meals, but we offer 40€ per week so everybody is indipendent to shop and buy own food.
We are happy to have some meals together, but normally everyone is responsible for cooking their own food.

Activities & Shift

We ask 5 hours a day, 5 five a week. We normally start at 7.30 up to 12.30 but working hours are always discuss beetwin the parts.

Rules

We are very openmind and friendly, but also hard workers and we are looking for people like us.
It's important to respet the pacefull of the place, keep clean around, be on time during the hours of help. During the working hours the use of the phone is okay just to listening music but not for chatting, social media or calls.
Not so much rules but very important for everybody to follow them.
