I volunteered at the shelter for a month and had the most wonderful time. Kishor and Jessica offer a family-style environment with lots of group interactions and joint meals. I especially enjoyed the pizza nights! The work is physical and hard but I felt appreciated by everyone, plus all the dogs are incredible. We also took some of the dogs and did the Laguna 513 hike which was a great day out. I really loved my time at the shelter and it was very hard to say goodbye. I'm sure it won't be the last time I volunteer here!

This was a wonderful experience. Hard work. But wonderful. So much love from the dogs everyday and so many opportunities to spend time with them besides the work at the shelter! A big thanks to Kishor and Jessica for creating this space, sharing your knowledge, all the fun evenings and for making me feel welcomed 😊

The work being done at the shelter is incredible for the dogs in the community. The ~90 dogs at the shelter are well looked after and loved by both the owners, Kishor and Jessica, and the volunteers. Although the work can be dirty (lots of cleaning dog poo) it's immensely important to the dogs and is absolutely worth it for them. Kishor and Jessica additionally provide an extremely welcoming environment for volunteers by providing lunches, morning snacks, and occasionally dinners with volunteer assistance. Overall it's a nice and friendly place to care for the dogs, hike, and meet travellers

At first I wanted to stay two weeks but then I ended up staying almost two months. That says already a lot. :) If you want to come to the shelter be prepared to really work. Most of us it takes 2-3 days to get really comfortable, at the beginning you get many information about the dogs. And it feels like you will never remember all, but you will. And there is always someone who is happy to help you if you aren't sure about something. And even it's not an easy work it's a amazing place and you will get paid with lots of love ❤️ And Jessica and Kishor are amazing people! I'll be back.

Came for 2 weeks, would have easily extend for one more week. Work can be hard (espacially the morning shifts as you have to clean all the cages) but the love the dogs give you will make you forget everything :)

Jessica is a warm and gentle soul. She made me feel welcome from the very start, as too Keesha and Michael. The work can be challenging but it is rewarding.

I had a great time at the shelter. The work is not easy but I enjoyed being around the dogs every day. The dogs are incredible and you will have trouble not adopting 7. Kishor and Jessica are very nice and welcoming. They da great job making the volunteers feel comfortable and included. I got to meet amazing people from around the world and Acopampa is a small but beautiful town in the mountains. I highly recommend volunteering at the shelter if you love or like animals especially dogs.

I had an excellent time at CasaViva dog shelter! Everyone was super nice. The cleaning work is hard at the beginning, but as soon as you learn the dynamics of it, it's much easier. The dogs are very lovely and they need a lot of time&love :) I'm gonna miss them.
