Volunteering at the shelter was a brilliant experience. You get to spend as much quality time with the dogs and cats as you want, the hosts are very inviting and provide you with so much stuff to stay comfortable like plenty of pillows and blankets for the bed and even clothes to wear so that you don't have to worry about any of the dogs messing up the clothes you bring with you. I really learned a lot about properly caring for animals and you can tell that all the people who help out at the shelter are super committed to providing the best care for the animals there.

The shelter was amazing! I met people from all over the world, improved my Spanish, and fell even more in love with the animal cause. I felt that there was a lack of organization in the day-to-day operations, as there wasn't a direct person in charge to guide us. Otherwise, I can't complain, because it changed my life forever!

Hola Giselle,

Muchas gracias por tu tiempo y por tu feedback. En ADAP todo se gestiona con voluntarios, que compaginan la protectora con sus trabajos y familias, por lo que no podemos tener a alguien presente todo el día. Por eso usamos los grupos de WhatsApp para mantener una comunicación ágil con los Worldpackers.

Apreciamos mucho tus comentarios y siempre intentamos mejorar por nuestros peludos.
¡Gracias de nuevo!

I had a really great time at the shelter with the sweet animals and amazing volunteers! This experience is surrounded by nature and a little off the grid, which was great for me! Everyone is kind and you can tell they really care for the animals there ❤️ Thank you all!

Not speaking spanish was definitely a challenge, but everyone was really kind and helped me out. It's a great opportunity to give back to animals who need our help, and doing this with volunteers all in the same position, and dedicating their time and resources is amazing to see. It was a beautiful community to be a part of.

I wish i could have stayed longer!! I had so much luck on meeting the amazing group of people with so much support from the hosts, all the love received and transferred to our work with the animals and the nature around us. I enjoyed so much, and I'm going to be forever grateful. The only thing was the problem with the bikes , we only had one bike working for a group of 10 , with only option to wait for locals to maybe give us a lift when they come , but everything is really easy to communicate
