I would absolutely recommend volunteering at the shelter! They really care about the animals and it's so rewarding to be able to help out. You help with feedings, some cage cleaning and social media too. You can also take trips to the beach with the dogs. Unfortunately I had to leave early due to a family emergency but I will be back as soon as I am able to.

My experience at the shelter was amazing. Everyone was welcoming and kind. It is a very rewarding experience and the work is enjoyable. You get to spend lots of time with the dogs and give them lots of love. Wish we could have stayed longer. They are doing such amazing work with the dogs in Sri Lanka and it was great to be apart of it all.

I miss the dogs and cats every second. If you love animals and don't mind getting dirty it's the Right Place for you definitely. You will meet amazing nice people and volunteers from all over the world. You will feel welcome by everyone there and unconditionally loved by the animals. Your work matters and you can see how your ideas for improvement will turn into changes as everyone there just wants the best for the animals. The beach is also nearby so you can relax in the afternoon if you need a break from all the barking🤭 Tipp: Definitely bring a mosquito net and be prepared to sweat.
