I really like this the shelter. The dogs are really well cared by the staff. They give you all the facilities you need. People are also nice, specially Bruno, he was always there making us feeling good. They have amazing dogs, but they have a lot, so any help is welcome! Thanks for the great experience! I hope to come back soon❤️

This experience was life changing. To be able to spend so much time with the dogs was the best! The team is welcoming and considerate. The accomodation is comfortable and vegan food is provided for cooking. The volunteer days started at 7am and went to 12pm with one day off. Tasks were clear and included walking, brushing, and playing with the dogs mainly. Everything was very well organized and thought out. Most importantly the dogs are well taken care off. Thank you for a wonderful experience and I hope to be back!!

I've spent two weeks at the the shelter and really enjoyed my time. The working hours were usually from 7-12 and the tasks fairly simple. We did a lot of walking the dogs which I really enjoyed. Even though there are over 450 dogs and it's sometimes hard because not everyone can get the attention they deserve, that's why I didn't mind spent extra time on walks and socializing even after the working hours. The team has a lot of things to take care of which is why there is not much time to spent with them, nevertheless if there was a question or something I got helped always. Loved my time there!

I had a really great time at the the shelter! The team was very kind and helped me when I had any questions. My shift was mainly walking the dogs and cleaning a little bit and sometimes other tasks depending on what was needed. I never had to work longer than the hours that were agreed. Of course working with dogs can be dirty at times, so I would recommend keeping that in mind, but it's also so rewarding, I had so much fun spending so much time with the dogs there, I miss them already! I absolutely recommend this experience and want to come back again!
