Wow, Felicia is an amazing host and person. She was very considerate about dietary needs and desires. Food was amazing and the atmosphere was great, friendly and welcoming. I would hardly call the tasks work... more ti.e was spent getting dog love tham anything else. Truly a wonderful experience. I strongly recommend anyone visit and support her efforts. The fee is more than reasonable for what you get and it mostly goes to the animals anyhow! VOLUNTEER !!

From the moment you arrive, Felicia welcomes you into her home with such kindness. She's deeply passionate about the project, and it shines through in every detail. Felicia prepares the most delicious, traditional home-cooked meals, all made to be healthy and catered to any dietary needs. The house itself is spacious, giving you plenty of room, and she even takes care of all the laundry! The tasks are forward, leaving the entire afternoon free to explore. The dogs are the best to be around—adorable, friendly, and eager for affection. I can't recommend this experience enough. Gracias :)

This has been our favorite volunteer program by far! Felicia, the host, is absolutely incredible—she has a heart of gold. Her passion and love for the dogs are unmatched. She goes above and beyond with her hospitality, cooking us the most delicious meals every day. There's always plenty of food (and trust me, I eat a lot!). The rooms big and comfy, we have all the amenities we need—our own kitchen, Laundry, bathroom, lounge, and hot water. The work is both fun and easy, and best of all, we get to spend each day with the cutest dogs! I highly recommend, we even extended ours by another week!

The best volunteering there is! Felicia is an amazing person who took care of me and she always made sure I'm ok and well. The volunteering it self is amazing! You get to be with dogs, play with them and take them on trips. The hours are convenient and you have lots of free time. The meals are amazing and you get to try local tasty food. 10/10 would recommend to spend some time here because it was an amazing experience

I had an amazing time volunteering at the shelter and staying at Felicia's. I really enjoyed getting to know all the dogs. They are all so lovely and just need so much love and care. Felicia is an amazing woman who cares deeply about the well-being of animals. It was truly an immersive experience into Peruvian culture. The food Felicia prepared each day was amazing and I got to practice speaking Spanish. Felicia was a great help with advice or taxis whenever I wanted to visit places. By the end I felt very comfortable and learned so much in such a short amount time. Highly recommend!!

We loved spending our honeymoon at at CST. Felicia provides a unique immersive experience in rural Cusco. She provides clear instructions as to what is needed every day and shares generously about her journey in caring for each animal and tending to their individual and collective needs. She has several ongoing projects that will significantly improve the lives of the animals and the people caring for them. Her work is incredibly inspiring to learn from and be a part of. She is also a great cook and conversationalist! So you're in for an authentic Peruvian immersion full of TLC <33

I applied for this position because I wanted to get to know Perú while helping animals, and the experience has been so much more than what I expected! The provided apartment is spacious, the meals are absolutely delicious, my hosts have been showing me around Cusco and teaching me about Peruvian culture, and my job is playing with dogs! My spanish isn't very good, but my hosts have also been amazing about communicating with me and improving my spanish. Volunteering here was an amazing choice for me, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone who loves dogs and wants to learn about Perú.

Jesse. Tenerte en casa fue una experiencia muy buena. Tú apoyo con los perros en el albergue fue muy gratificante. Los perros disfrutaron mucho tu compañía y seguro te extrañarán. Ellos tienen tango amor para dar y las visitas de la población es casi nada.
Gracias por venir de tan lejos y elegir pasar el tiempo en el albergue. Gracias por cuidar la casa y dejar todo limpio. Eres una chica muy limpia, ordenada y puntual. Parte de esta experiencia es que los voluntarios prueben la exquisita gastronomía de PERÚ 🇵🇪

Participar desse voluntariado foi um verdadeiro presente! A causa é muito importante, e o albergue precisa do apoio dos voluntários para continuar ajudando tantos cães abandonados. Sou muito grata por todos os dias que passei na casa da Felícia – me senti extremamente acolhida! Os horários de trabalho são respeitados, e o ambiente é muito tranquilo. Recomendo essa experiência a todos!

Mi experiencia en el refugio fue maravillosa. Desde el momento que llegué, Felicia fue muy amable y atenta, siempre dispuesta a ayudar y compartir su cultura. Me fascinó escuchar sus historias y aprender de ella. Admiro su dedicación a los perros. Llegué a Perú viendo a tantos perritos en la calle bajo la mirada indiferente de la gente y fue un alivio enorme saber que existen personas como Felicia, que realmente hacen algo por ellos. El tiempo en el refugio no se siente como trabajo, los perritos son adorables, llenos de amor y pasar tiempo con ellos fue muy sanador ❤️
