This was an amazing experience and I recommend it to anyone travelling through Portugal. The shelter attracts the most caring type of people, and we have met amazing friends from all around the world here. The animals are cared for very well, and the staff really respect and appreciate the volunteers. If you love dogs and cats this is a perfect place for you. I love this place and will definitely return whenever I'm back in this part of the world!

They never complained or made excuses.They had a genuine love for animals, they really cared about the well-being of the animals.They enthusiasm and dedication were contagious. They are a true gem and I highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for a rewarding volunteer experience.

Troisième fois que je viens, et je repars cette fois ci avec une chienne qui fera le bonheur de ma mère. Un lieu géniale où tous les volontaires que j'ai rencontré aurait voulu rester un peu plus

Raphaelle has been an incredible asset to our shelter. She has a special talent for working with dogs, especially those that are more challenging. Her calm, confident approach helps them feel safe and understood. She often goes the extra mile—literally—by taking dogs on additional walks and giving them amazing experiences in beautiful outdoor settings. Also, she adopted a dog, Maria, that was here for very long time and we are very happy for her that she will stay in Raphaelle's family!

Mi experiencia en ARA fue muy buena. Dudo que pueda agregar mucho más de lo que dicen todas las reseñas previas, pero sí afirmar que cumple con la expectativa. El trabajo realizaado allí es muy bueno, las instalaciones para los animales están muy bien diseñadas y adaptadas. Se está atento al bienestar de ellos y se busca socializarlos y conseguirles una familia. El ambiente de trabajo es muy bueno, el staff y los voluntarios que me encontré allí en general tienen todos muy buena energía y ganas de colaborar en un proyecto tan importante. Definitivamente recomendable y espero algun día volver!!

Ich habe im Juni 2 Wochen bei ARA verbracht und kann einen work exchange dort nur wärmstens empfehlen. Die Arbeit mit den Tieren macht viel Spaß, da man wirklich merkt, dass die Tiere die Mühe und Arbeit sehr wertschätzen, was einem ein gutes Gefühl gibt. Der Arbeitsaufwand ist sehr machbar (mit den Tieren kuscheln ist z.B. auch Teil der Arbeit). Das Gelände selbst und die Gegend um das Tierheim herum ist außerdem auch super schön. An freien Tagen kann man eine Menge unternehmen, da viele schöne Orte in der Nähe liegen. Ich freue mich auf den Tag, an dem ich mal wieder kommen kann!

Essa foi minha primeira experiência de voluntariado e foi muito melhor do que eu poderia imaginar! Fui bem recebida e me senti confortável desde o início, tanto com o staff quanto com os outros voluntários. As horas de trabalho são tranquilas e a acomodação é boa. Tive a oportunidade de praticar meu inglês com os outros voluntários e me senti muito realizada em fazer parte desse trabalho lindo! Super recomendo a experiência para quem ama animais 💗

Eu não sei nem por onde começar. Desde o dia em que cheguei fui excelentemente recebida em uma acomodação aconchegante e com bastante espaço. Se você estiver procurando por um lugar para se conectar com a natureza, com os animais e praticar seu inglês o abrigo é o lugar para isso. Todos os Staffs e cuidadores do abrigo são super amigáveis, gentis, divertidos e prestativos. Me senti super à vontade com todas as pessoas e animais. Tenho muito que agradecer pois tive uma primeira experiência maravilhosa e recomendo para todos que tem vontade de vir para cá!
