These people put really hard work to create a great environment for the dogs and it is a great opportunity to be a part of it. I respect a lot for them for what they do. Also tasks are very easy and you don't feel like working at all with the dogs. It was a very chilling experience over all

I would absolutely recommend this volunteering to anyone who is thinking about it. If you love dogs, this is the place for you. Your task is to walk the dogs and you get a lot of cuddles in return. The people were always very nice and you can see that they are taking good care of the dogs. They all have my respect for what they do.

I had such a wonderful time at the dog the shelter – a truly beautiful experience. The place is well equipped and I felt very comfortable. The main task is spending time with the dogs, walking or playing with them, which was incredibly rewarding. You work very independently and mainly connect with the other volunteers. If you're considering it – do it! The dogs really deserve it.

It was my 1st time volunteering & i absolutely loved the experience. Everybody was super welcoming and it was a great working atmosphere. The tasks were also super simple: we walked the dogs, gave them water, painted some walls, organised the warehouse. If you are considering working in a the shelter and making an impact, i can totally recommend this place. I learnt so much from the dogs & they have endless love, hugs and kisses to give. Looking forward to revisiting soon!

I hope to come back soon❤️
