Program Details

Hi Animal-Lovers

You allways wanted to visit the unique Galapagos Islands and at the same time do something good?
You love all animals and you love that taking care of animals is called work?
Then you are at the right place with us.
Be part and help us from the very beginning to build bit by bit our private rescue animal sancturay

My Husband and I rescue misstreated, starved, forgotten and unwanted animals and give them a place where they get a lot of love and time to recover from whatever they went through. We take all of them to the vet to help them with whatever they need, and also sterelize and vaccinate them before they ever go in adoption. Because after they are completely recoverd we try to find the perfect forever homes. Many of the dogs stay for ever.
At the moment we count - 52 Dogs, 4 Cats,4 Pigs &1 Donkey- sharing our space.

Our dream is to help animals in need. Unfortunately there is nothing like a shelter for dogs so far here and thats we are only a 100% private sanctuary but we want to make a change. We want our project to be also good for the enviorment and thats why we try to use as much as we can recycled (bottles, tires, wooden palletts) or natural materials (bamboo, porotiio, wood) to build. Creative technical minds are always very welcome here!
