Help with a dog rescue in Bansko, Bulgaria

I loved my experience working with the project. Sarah does a great job keeping this shelter running as efficiently as possible helping volunteers with any issues that come up. The working shifts are very manageable and leave you with plenty of time to explore the rest of Bansko. You will fall in love with the project here so the only downside in my experience is how much I now miss spending time with them. I would recommend this experience to anybody interested in animal care and being close to nature.

I would recommend this experience to anyone who has a love for the project! The work was easy, Sarah and the team were so welcoming and helpful and the project are just adorable!! Bansko is such a calm little town and perfect for relaxing while also having the choice to go out and explore or hike. I wish I could've stayed longer!

For my first Worldpackers, it was a wonderful volunteering experience that I am very grateful for. The project itself is amazing and I met lots of great people from around the world. Everyone and the project were so lovely. I would love to return one day.

It was my first worldpackers experience and it was great. I learned a lot about the project and I met so many other nice people from all over the world. I would recommend this experience if you like the project and if it's okay for you to be in a more rural area. Thank you Sarah, Nick and Chris :)

It was my first volunteering experience, and it couldn't have been more rewarding. ❤ the project are the sweetest! Getting to know them made me learn so much and grow so much love for them. I've been lucky enough to share the experience with some of the sweetest and most caring people I've met. The volunteers apartment was amazing and felt like a family. We cared for the project, ate, watched movies, laughed and explored together. Will carry these friendships for life. Thank you so much to Sarah and the BSD team for putting so much work and love into this. Would absolutely love to come back! 🐾

My time with the project was truly a once in a lifetime experience! I stayed in an apartment with other volunteers where I met the kindest, most amazing people from all over. There was such a lovely atmosphere between us all & I have made true friendships. And of course, the project were the sweetest and it was so amazing to be able to care for them and get to know their individual personalities and quirks. Sarah has brought together a wonderful group of people in Bansko and I have so much respectful for all the work her, Chris & Nick put in❤️

Being apart of the team and meeting such wondrous people made the trip 10x better! Although this was my first ever worldpacker experience, I highly recommend this place! Especially if you are a dog lover! You also have a better understanding of the project and how they react, play, etc! The town is easy to get around as well since everything is walking distance! Sarah, the team and volunteers are the most amazing people— never think twice about volunteering here! 🐶🤎
