My stay at the dogshelter was amazing. The dogs are all well socialiced, super cute and need a lot of love and cuddels. The facilitys are simple but you will get everything you need. There are a lot of unfinished projects and tasks. This place is perfect for volunteers who like to initiate new projects, (like taking the dogs on walk in to the city (they love the Bus/Taxi rides!) work independent, arent afraid to get dirty and love animals. The dogs have a beatiful life at the shelter but to find potential forever-homes and donations the socialmedia aspect is also very important!
