Description
We ask our volunteers to contribute a small fee and to assist with four hours of work per day. We do not profit from your stay, we don’t earn enough to cover the costs involved. Every rescued animal needs food, shelter, medical care and all of these come at a cost. This is not a salary or profit, but a vital contribution that keeps our rescue efforts running. Most importantly, your support helps the animals.

Could not recommend the shelter enough. They are the sweetest people and really care about the animals they the shelter. It was a great experience all around. The animals are all super cute as well!

The shelter was a fantastic place to volunteer and stay. Tash was an absolute angel and bent over backwards to make us feel welcome. It was so incredible to get hands on with the animals and accompany the team on rescues, be in charge of feedings, and also get the chance to explore Perth and meet tons of locals. I could not recommend the shelter enough.

I had the most amazing two weeks at the shelter. You're very much involved in the work and responsible for the animals, which makes the job fun. Tash and Mick welcome you in their home and are very friendly which makes it feel like you're at home. Besides working there is a lot of freedom to explore the surroundings and there is always room for initiative. Will definitely go back here one day!

I had a truly amazing experience staying here! Michael and Tash are very nice and welcoming, ensuring you feel at home in their home! The animals are incredibly cute, and it is very hands on, you are actually involved and helping, not just watching. There were other travelers while I stayed, with whom I had the best time! If you are in Perth I would definitely recommend going here!❤️🦘
