The experience

We are looking for people who would like to help us with the maintenance of the sanctuary. The main job contains the daily feeding, cleaning and caring for the 200+ rescues at the place, taking care of our shared living space with house and surroundings, and supporting us in some construction works.

Program Details
We rely on the help of our volunteers to be able to take good care of the more than 200 rescued animals living at the sanctuary. We are happy to welcome people who are willing to be responsible members of our community, truly care for our animals well-being, and at the same time can accept that resources and opportunities in a growing project with no governmental support are sometimes limited and we have to improvise with what we got.
The daily tasks are feeding, cleaning, and giving water to the animals inside and outside of the house. If there is time left after these basic tasks, we are happy for every kind of participation to the maintenance or growth of the project, such as some construction works to improve the living situation of animals and humans, for example. Working hours are 9am-13pm, and 5/6pm-6/7pm, with 2 days off per week. Some flexibility required for emergencies.
