I never imagined how much this shelter would change me. I worked the shelter day caring for dogs of all profiles. It's hard to choose favorites, but Bambi, Bonnie and of course Goshko stole my heart. I'm deeply grateful to Terry and Yuliya for the support and kindness, even when I got injured. What they've created here is purpose, love and courage in action. This place isn't just about tasks, it's about truly connection. If you come, come with heart, presence and willingness to truly help. This shelter heals dogs and humans. I can't wait to return. Thanks so much for everything!!! 🤍

Thank you for the heart-felt words! We truly need more people like you who come with their hearts open and willing to really help. Not just to spend time with us and explore.

If you are a the shelter lover, this is the place to be. I even asked to extend my stay because I enjoyed volunteering so much🤩 You just have to take into account that public transport takes up a large part of the day. Also, this volunteering is a mix between take care of dogs and do cleaning tasks. I really want to come back there. Thank you Yuliya for everything.

I was at the shelter for about a month, and it was such an incredible experience, I've met such amazing people, such lovely dogs and felt so welcomed throughout my whole experience, there was not one day where I wasn't excited to go in to the shelter, I would have happily stayed for longer. On top of the work, Bulgaria is such a great country to explore, and with 3 days off per week, I felt more than able to do so. 10/10 experience, would highly recommend.

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!!

I had a fantastic time at the shelter, it was such a precious experience to me! The people who worked at the shelter were all amazing and so sweet, and Yuliya and Terry are wonderful people. My favourite thing was the care and attention given to the dogs at the shelter, the shelter one of them is special and you get to know and learn all about them, and you get to fall in love and connect with all of them. The work is not difficult and it's very fulfilling and the apartement is very comforting especially because of Goshko! I will miss this experience so much and i can't wait to be back!
