I volunteered at ARA for the third time now and enjoyed it -as always - to its fullest. The staff is very carying (towards the animals as well as towards the volunteers). The animals there enjoy the best treatment you could imagine for a shelter: It is taken care of good health, they spend much time with other dogs during the day and play in many different big and lovely built dog parks. I am very thankful for this place and having the opportunity to be part of it. Hope to come back soon.

ARA welcomes every volunteer in the best way possible, trying to improve the wellbeing of their volunteers each and every day. The atmosphere is always friendly, people do their best to help out with everything without putting pressure on anyone. ARA is an amazing shelter for all their animals, they get to go on lots of walks and play in one of the many parks during the day. What I find most fascinating is the fact that „socializing with the animals“ is one of their daily tasks which is exactly what some of them need to experience and get to enjoy in order to get adopted by a loving family.

This was my first stay in ARA and it was amazing. I'm definitely coming back. I feel in love with the dogs (Pako, Guitarra and Gossip) and the cats (Naftalina). The staff is amazing, any doubts or problems you have, for example, tu put a harness on a dog they help you without problem. They do an amazing job at the shelter and they should be proud, the animals there are in good hands. Also, the other volunteers, I had the luck to be with an amazing group, most of who had already been there which made everything so much easier. The weather was not the best but still I had a wonderful time there!

It has been my second time at ARA and again, it was amazing. The staff is super nice, motivated and funny. They care deeply about the dogs and fight for their rights. The other volunteers are always super nice and we did a lot of activities together. The dogs are amazing. They have a dog trainer that teaches you a lot about the animals. You can learn a lot from him about their behaviour and positive training. It is amazing, I will definitely come back 😁
