The Experience

In keeping with our core goal of providing the best possible care for our rescue dogs, volunteers help us with: dog feeding and watering, yard cleaning, dog walking, dog socialisation (e.g. patting puppies) and, if possible, some basic building/maintenance; gardening ( weeding). In return, a massive oversupply of joyful dog love is guaranteed. We require a minimum stay of 4 weeks stay. Training/ getting to know the activities takes 3-4 weeks.

I had a great time at the the shelter. Yuliya and Terry were great hosts, always doing their best to help you with anything. I enjoyed the days spent at the dogs interacting with the 100+ dogs there. The staff at the shelter were also friendly and the tasks were straightforward and easy to follow. Some days can be a bit physically exhausting but it is all worth it at the end. I would highly recommend volunteering here if you love dogs!!
