Nikos and Caro are very loving people and I got on well with both of them. I have taken all the dogs to my heart and would come here again and again. It's definitely worth the experience.

I had a very nice week at the the shelter. Nikos and Caroline were both very good and kind people. I really enjoyed my time there with the other sweet volunteers. The dogs were all so friendly and loving. The accommodation was simple, but also under construction at the time I was there. The dogs were loud in the night but I got used to it very quickly. The surroundings were beautiful. There are beautiful mountains and a cute town with a cafe nearby. Thank you Nikos and Caroline for letting me feel so welcome. I respect everything you do for the dogs. I'll be back!๐ถโค๏ธ

If you love dogs, nature and you are not afraid of getting dirty it's the perfect place! It's not a five star hotel, you have to know how to adapt but it will be worth it!! I will definitely come backโค๏ธ

Volunteering abroad for the first time at the the shelter was an amazing experience! Nikos and Caro are incredibly kind and dedicate all their energy and love to caring for the animals. The accommodation is simple but has everything you need. Mornings are for cleaning kennels and feeding the dogs, while afternoons are free to relax, spend time with the dogs, or help with other tasks like painting name tags or walking the dogs. Every day is different and never boring. I highly recommend it to anyone who loves dogs and wants a break from everyday stress โ I'll definitely be back!๐
