Program Details

We provide basic food items so you can prepare your own lunch.

No skills are necessary but obviously the love of dogs is required as we have a lot, over 300 can be very overwhelming so you need to be comfortable working around dogs, none of our dogs are aggressive towards humans they just want love and attention.
Other tasks : feeding the animals and a lot of cleaning to ensure the dogs have a clean living area.

The work on some days can be hard and sometimes overwhelming, please remember we do this on a daily basis but we do it as our dogs in our shelter need us.

It's better if you are used to be with animals but it's not an obligation, our animals are very nice and not dangerous at all !
We except people who are ready to involve themselves physically and especially psychologically. We need people who really love animals and are ready to dedicate themselves to the shelter.
