Honestly the best world packers experience I've had. Would highly recommend this shelter! Come meet all the dogs and the host Tamara is a crazy dog lady who puts them before herself always. These dogs are living a life of luxury compared to other shelters I've stayed at and the work Tamara does for sterilising and vaccinating dogs is amazing. I felt very included and spent most of the day socialising the dogs and walking a few of them. Socialising can involve simply sitting with the shyer dogs or playing and running around with the more energetic dogs. I felt included and loved my time here!!!

A project like this where you don't have to pay an extra fee is appreciated having at least a space, they are the ones who need help but the animals helped me, time went by really fast there is a lot of love to give in that place and they make sure they are well, the staff was super friendly, for those who like animals and helping it is a good place, the tasks are really simple, you have a kitchen where you can prepare your food and although it is a little far from the center on the main road local cars pass by that take you around the area.

I had a good time caring for all the dogs and the cat. The work consists mainly on taking the dogs out and spending time with them! I love animals so that was very special to me. The only thing is that the infrastructure needs to be improved. The room is very simple, there was no internet and no hot water, when I arrived my room was still dirty and during my stay we had problems with rats which made my stay be shorter.

The experience was great. We didn't have the opportunity to meet the host, but the workers were really welcoming and nice. The work is easy and the dogs make it that much better. The only problem is that you're going to fall in love with all the dogs and want to adopt them, apart from that I will recommend this place 100%

Minha estadia foi muito agradável, fui muito bem recebida pela equipe. O local para os voluntários precisa de algumas melhorias, mas entendo que é um abrigo e que necessitam de doações fixas para que melhorias possam ser feitas. A rotina de trabalho é tranquila, fica um pouco pesada devido ao calor da Tailândia. Os horários de trabalho e folgas combinados foram cumpridos. Os cachorros são um espetáculo a parte! Muito amorosos, amam receber carinho, beijos e abraços apertados. Sinto saudades deles todos os dias. Agradeço a anfitriã pela oportunidade, uma pena não ter conhecido ela pessoalmente.
