Volunteer with Rescue Dogs in the Heart of Peru

This was my first Worldpackers and one of my favorite trips ever! I have a feeling it will be hard to beat as I continue to travel. Even as someone who doesn't speak Spanish the host and other volunteers were so so kind and would help translate for me! The work was easy and super fun and it's so rewarding to see the dogs come out of their shell as you get to know them and bond with them. I wish I could've stayed longer I miss the dogs and the people already :)

Working with Felicia is such an honor. You can tell she cares deeply about the animals she looks after and is truly committed to doing what's best for them. The work at the shelter is fun and rewarding, and getting to have meals/spend time with Feli and the other volunteers is an added bonus. I cannot recommend this volunteer opportunity enough. Who wouldn't want to spend time playing with dogs? They all have such distinct personalities—I hope anyone reading this gets the chance to get to know them (and Feli).

I loved everything about this project. Cusco is a beautiful city, Felicia is the kindest person and her dogs are all amazing. I admire Felicia and her aim to help all animals, especially dogs! I had a really great time, we only had to work 3 hours a day and had the rest of the day to ourselves, to explore the city or hang out with the dogs at the house. I can 100% recommend this project to everyone who loves dogs!

Truly an incredible experience! Felicia is an incredible woman the shelter big heart, and I feel lucky to have spent the week with her and the pups. Every single dog is so sweet, you will fall in love. And the work is fun! The apartment you stay in is very nice and comfortable, and the food Felicia makes is delicious. We were basically fed the entire week! The location is just outside of Cusco away from all the tourists which felt like a more authentic experience.

It was my very first WorldPackers volonteers experience there, first solo travel in Latin America and in Perú. This experience made me discovered so many amazing things about local life, local food and local culture. Felicia is a sweet, kind and devoted woman to her dogs shelter and she deserves more volonteer'help. This volonteer experience made me grown in a way to have faith in people and in life.

I had a great time with Felicia, the job is fun, you get to do different tasks at the shelter that makes it super dynamic, and the dogs are very nice. The house is very clean and very big. You share an entire apartment with only one other volunteer and you have your own room. The food is good and I always had enough to eat for dinner too. I'm not great at speaking spanish, but Felicia is very patient and helped me learn a lot. I had to go get a taxi a few times and she helped me with that to make sure I was safe and she even let me invite people over.

Felicia was very welcoming and made amazing meals for breakfast and lunch every day with usually enough leftovers for dinner! And she is doing an amazing job with the shelter, all the dogs are really sweet but they need more help so I'd really recommend volunteering! Also the room I stayed in was amazing and it was very easy to get into Cusco's centre on the bus. Wish I could have stayed longer and will miss this experience a lot :(

I visited Cusco for nine days, but I wanted to stay longer because Felicia and her husband are really kind, even though I'm just a beginner in Spanish (Duolingo level! :)) We mostly communicated using translation apps. I really appreciate that I had the chance to meet an amazing person like Felcia. She has truly devoted her life and love to dogs. Working at the shelter reminded me how amazing and sweet they are. I highly recommend this opportunity to anyone who loves animals! :) I personally liked the place to stay. You get a spacious room, a hot shower, and a kitchen with Coca tea (IMPORTANT)
