I absolutely over my stay at bronxfamilia the the shelter! Nikos and Caro are the most amazing people ever and treat you so well. The work days vary with the amount of work you have to do and every day is different, which taught me resilience and really brought me closer to the dogs. While the accomodation is quite simple, nikos accommodates your needs very well with what they have, and you will end up being spoiled with drinks and food throughout the day. I truly recommend this volunteering experience, such an amazing 3 weeks!

Volunteering at the the shelter was the most amazing experience. The love and energy that is put into the the shelter is evident through how happy and sweet all of the animals are. It was an extremely rewarding experience. I learned so much, not only about caring for animals but about myself I have gained confidence and an ability for decision making, communication and working in a team. I bonded well with the other volunteers from all over the world. I would recommend the shelter to anyone who happy to get stuck in and help out, all of the hard work you put in you get back in love from the animals.โค๏ธ

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
