Volunteering in ARA was an incredible experience. How ARA treats and takes care of the shelter is extraordinary. Animals (dogs, cats, goats, rabbits,..) have so much love and what is more they have a beautiful place they can call home and parks where they can play. I have met and connected with so many wholehearted and welcoming people. If you are an the shelter lover this is the experience for you :)!

Unfortunately, I was only in ARA for two weeks, but the time was incredible! The staff and the other volunteers are super nice and helpful. I felt comfortable and welcome right from the start. The focus is on the animals and their welfare is close to everyone's heart. The work was varied and exactly as described. There is plenty of time to socialize with the animals, take them to beach or to the city. It is an incredibly special place and I will definitely come back in the future!

My time at Ara was incredible. The people were all very friendly and helpful. Whenever you had a question or needed assistance, the staff was there to support you. It is a great dog shelter, and everything is done to ensure the dogs are well taken care of. The accommodation for us volunteers was also very nice, and everything was done to make sure we felt comfortable. I would definitely recommend ARA to anyone. It was a wonderful experience, and I would definitely love to come back! :)

I can truly say that I loved my time at ARA and will definitely come back again. They care a lot about the well-being of the animals and their volunteers. I never experienced a shelter, that provides the animals as much as ARA does. Especially the professional dog training they offer is really helpful for the dogs and a good learning experience for the volunteers. The spaces for the volunteers were perfect and more than you could ever expect from a place to volunteer at. Most of the staff tried to help us, to be as comfortable as possible. I definitly recommend coming here and support ARA.

I was for two weeks and I had a great time there, all the staff members are really kind-hearted and it's a very pleasant experience. Basic needs are met, and there are very few hours when you're required to “work.” The tasks are very simple, and it's clear they want us to spend time with the animals—it's impossible not to end up falling in love with a cat or a dog 💞. For me, two weeks were enough; I had an amazing time. There are many group activities organized, and it's perfect for meeting nice people from other countries.

I had an amazing experience at ARA. The organisation and shelter itself is the best I've ever been to. There are so many amazing dogs and it felt like a privilege to be able to help look after them. The shifts themselves were very reasonable, a couple of hours in the morning and a couple of hours in the afternoon consisting of walking the dogs, cleaning the kennels/catterys and socialising with the animals. It's such a rewarding experience and I would definitely recommend!
