First of all, the people here are amazing! this place is like a big family when you're gonna have so much fun. The work is pretty easy and beautiful. Most of the time you just have to walk with dogs, washing their bowls and petting them, which is the best part of this volunteer. If you like dogs you should definitely come here! i'm gonna miss you all, thanks for this amazing experience!!

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.
