Program Details

We need help to manage the day to day tasks around the shelter, take care of our dogs, perform general maintenance on the property and enclosures, assisting with general housekeeping activities and cleaning the shelter. We are also looking to improve the shelters’ infrastructure and make our shelter run as smoothly as possible. We ask for your every day help in exchange for accommodation and basic food to cook your daily meals . We do not provide your meals, you must cook yourself! (we offer everything you will need for basic meals, for any further special requests on meals, you can provide them yourself)

Accommodation:
You will be living in one of our container houses, the accommodation is primitive, but have all what you need in terms of kitchen, toilet and shower. We are only powered by solar panels, but we have a generator that can generate hot water and electricity whenever needed.

Activities & Shift

We would like you to keep in mind that there is no regular schedule. Caring for our dogs is time-consuming and unpredictable. Daily tasks will depend on the weather as well as the needs of the dogs. Keep in mind that they need to be fed at least once a day ,watered twice a day, and their living areas must also be cleaned at least every 24-hours (cleaning up after dogs involves removing dog poop from their living area but this can be rewarding as much as the dogs won't let you go).

As far as it concerns the general maintenance, it includes tasks such as mending fences, maintaining dog enclosures and building new dogs houses. Sometimes the dogs will destroy their enclosures in an attempt to escape so we have to regularly ensure that they are safe and not able to escape or injure themselves on damaged materials. It will be good if you stay alert and help with that!
