The Experience

This is a non-profit organisation doing stray dog rescues. We really hope that we can have someone who is willing to spend time with them(furkids), helping us in shelter daily care and also give furkids some accompany. Our main need is with daily cleaning work: cleaning cages, cleaning floor, cleaning pee and poo (with shovel), washing dishes, helping bring food to every cage and also can help clean wounds, bath, cut nails and play with dogs.

This was a wonderful and eye-opening experience. Fish and Vincent are beautiful, welcoming people and were excited to show me their culture, food and the beautiful town they live in. Their hard work at the the shelter is incredible, and working there was confronting but I loved it. The day to day tasks were easy - cleaning, feeding and playing with the dogs The dogs here have experienced a lot of neglect, but Fish, Vincent and Jane have made it their mission to take in and care for as many fur kids as possible. The house was comfortable, with filtered water, laundry and kitchen available

Communication was good from the very beginning and I felt very welcome when I first arrived and Fish picked me up at the train station. Fish and Vincent were very friendly and helpful and made my stay very comfortable. A personal emergency made me have to cut my stay short, I only worked for a few days before I had to leave but it was still an experience to remember. I wish I could have stayed longer to help out.

Upon arrival Fish and Vincent make you feel very welcome and at home, I was shown around the area and the places nearby. They provided me with additional food to help myself, water always available. Own private room with balcony and access to washing machine. They do the upmost kindest things for you, and if you have any questions or queries they immediately help you. They create a truly memorable and valuable experience for you to learn all about the culture and the issues that are arising and present in Malaysia. The work is very rewarding but is tough if you are an animal lover. ❤️

I love animals and being surrounded by then makes me feel a lot peace. The work is very simple, clean the cages, feed the dogs, in you free time you can play with them, give then snacks, brush them, cut their nails and thousand other things that you can imagine and that make you enjoy it. The dogs are love, I wish I could take them all, they are the most loving, affectionate and very playful, some are a little fearful but eventually they get used to you and come closer. Vicent and fish a very nice couple people, they make you feel at home. I definitely I recommend 100% this experience.
