The shelter is a really special place and Jana is such a sweet soul. The house is cozy and everyone had a private room with bathroom. The kitchen was free to use such as the outdoor area. It was about half an hour walk into Stari Grad and to the shops and beaches. Jana got some bikes we could use to cycle around the island. Jana is so kind really made me feel welcome and at home. Daily tasks were filling up water bottles and hay nets and getting them up to the donkeys, also some sanding, cleaning, etc. The work never felt like work to me, still the hours were respected.

Volunteering on the shelter sanctuary was an absolute dream! Jana, and the other volunteers were so welcoming and really made the experience. The rooms are beautiful, and the kitchen is fully equipped, along with an outdoor fire we used to cook fish! Jana also has 4 bikes we could use to get around the island. Jana as a host was amazing, she was so understanding when I had to change my dates and leave early! And always provided entertainment with her stories. The animals were so loveable, and will really be missed! I definitely recommend this experience, and am tempted to go back myself!

This experience was mixed for me. The property was beautiful and the animals were a lot of fun to be around. We enjoyed exploring the island during our time off, which was plentiful. Jana was nice but often stressed, which lead to some unpleasant interactions. The work wasn't too bad but the environment was negative at times. I'm grateful to Jana for opening up her home, but it wasn't an experience I enjoyed completely.

The animals, the property, and the island are really all great parts of this experience. The work is pretty straightforward. You prepare the hay and tend to the donkeys and horse at 7:30am, then do some projects around the property for the rest of the morning. You have the rest of the day to yourself. There are plenty of places to explore around the island by bike or on foot. Unfortunately, I found Jana to be less than welcoming and I would not return for another stay here. I hate to say this because I was so excited for our time there, but we did not have the best experience.

Cool little place. Easy access to town and the busses to get you round the island, you do have to walk or bike into Stari Grad! The place to go if you love cats!!!

Fue mi primer voluntariado, y la experiencia realmente estuvo increíble. Estuve 3 semanas con Jana y otras dos voluntarias, Jana es súper amable y simpática. Sin dudas volvería, voy a extrañar a todos los integrantes 🐈🫏🐶
