From the moment I arrived, I felt truly welcomed by Verity and Thep, who are not only dedicated to the shelter but also genuinely kind and inspiring people. The local team were equally friendly and made me feel part of the group. The work is physical and hands-on, but it never felt like a burden because you can see how much it matters to the shelter. Spending time with them every day, getting to know their personalities and seeing their progress was the most fulfilling part for me. This is a place where every bit of help makes a difference. I'm grateful I got to be part of it.

Volunteering at the shelter's Dog the shelter has been a rewarding experience. From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed by the team and, of course, the most lovable group of the shelter. Each dog had their own unique personality and story, and it was great getting to care for them. The work was hands-on, meaningful, and filled with tail wags and cuddles. The deep bond between humans and animals is so special. That makes leaving bittersweet. I'm going to miss the doggies and their playful spirits. They've left a paw print on my heart, and I know I'll carry this experience with me always.

We spent 1 month at the shelter, and we could not have asked for a better experience. The team is incredibly dedicated and passionate about their work and about every single dog. the shelter are treated with love and care, and they make sure every dog gets proper medical attention. They really go above and beyond for not just the shelter in the shelter but also the temple the shelter. Bang, Ohn, Piak, Franziska and Franz, thank you so much for everything you've teached us and for making us feel like a part of the team. We miss you already. Verity and Thep, thank you for having us. We will see you soon ❤️

The experience was exactly what I hoped for. I wish I had more time to spend here. You are involved in the day to day work from day 2 (first day is sitting with the shelter so they get comfortable with you). This allows you to see the highs and lows of dog the shelter life. As a short term volunteer you are helpful, but not crucial to the shelter operations, which is perfect. Note the description is incorrect as each day is 8:30-3:30 with an hour lunch (although none of those are hard times) with 2 days off per week as desired. The working hours allow for plenty of timing hanging out with the shelter.

The shelter Dog the shelter is an amazing place. Located right next to a beautiful beach, it's a fantastic spot to volunteer and immerse yourself in Thai culture. The staff and volunteers are superb, dedicating so much to the shelter and the community. I loved spending my time caring for and loving all my four-legged friends. I highly recommend this experience to anyone seeking peace and the joy of caring for the shelter.
