I had a wonderful time at the shelter. Jessica and Kishor are so nice, the dogs are amazing and I was so sad, that I had to leave. And even though the work is hard, everything makes sense and it's getting better :)

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
