The Experience
Your day will start with feeding the animals, making sure they are medicated, enriched and happy. We must ensure that their areas are clean, that they have enough water, warm beds and are not displaying any physical or behavioural signs of discomfort or distress. We'll need you to be physically fit, listen well and learn quickly. We rely on people who are happy to get dirty, stuck in and stay motivated under stressful and challenging conditions.

This was a really sweet experience. Getting to directly work with animals is something I've always wanted to do and I'm grateful to be able to help. The work can be very hard and I do recommend patience as your body adjusts, but it was also heartwarming to be able to help such sweet beings. Everyone is welcoming and helpful . If you don't mind hard work in basic settings I would suggest it. Thanks to everyone at this lovely place.

This has been such an incredible experience and one that I will remember forever. The core team really love and look after the animals which has been a pleasure to be a part of. I will miss all the animals so much but hoping to come back one day! My partner and I stayed in our own little cabin which was cozy and comfortable. Please be aware that the volunteers look after the communal areas and also do the cooking and cleaning so sometimes it can be frustrating if someone doesn't contribute to that. I have really enjoyed my time on the farm and found it extremely rewarding. 100% recommend.

Thanks a million for your lovely words, Kristyna. You were a joy to have on the farm and our animals felt the love and care! Thanks for being such an important part of the team and for your patience with the communal living issues we are constantly looking to improve on. You are welcome back any time :)

WOW! What an incredible experience being here was. The core team at My Lovely Pig Rescue are extremely passionate about providing the best lives for the animals here and that passion spreads to the volunteers too. Although the work is difficult to begin with, once you get into the routine of farm life, it becomes a world of its own and what an amazing world it is! All the animals here are amazing and even on your days off you'll just want to spend your time with them. I've met friends from all over the world, who I'll cherish and stay in touch with forever. Thank you for everything!
