The Experience
📍 The project is located in Phang Nga, 20 min. from Phuket We’re building new shelters for rescued street dogs. Two dog houses are already built, but we still need to paint the interiors and exteriors – and that’s where we need your help. This is more than just helping paint walls – you’ll be directly contributing to creating a safe and structured home for street dogs who have been through a lot. Your help makes a real, visible difference.

I had a wonderful time at Diana's the shelter. The work is flexible and quite easy; it mainly involves cleaning, gardening, and a little bit of construction/repair, depending on the needs. The house and garden are very pleasant to live in, surrounded by all those adorable dogs ❤️ who love to play and be cuddled. Thank you, Diana, for the opportunity!

I really enjoyed my time here. I spent 2 weeks at the shelter and I loved living and working with the dogs. I think the work is quit manageable so never to much to do and even though there is a working schedule there is always room to change sth. The work mostly includes cleaning, gardening and feeding the dogs. Everyone working there was really sweet and the facilitys are great (I even had a private room). The only downside is the location because it's a bit outside so you'll always have to take a Grab to get arround but that's okay. So all in all I can really recomment this place!✨?

My experience was absolutely wonderful. Being surrounded by dogs all day is amazing. The whole team was very kind, helpful, and lovely. There was great communication, flexibility with the schedule, and the tasks were simple and very clear—everything matched perfectly with what was published on this platform. It's an incredible opportunity if you love dogs. An excellent place with beautiful people. I'm taking with me memories and friends for a lifetime.

Unfortunately, I missed the review timeframe, but I would still like to sincerely thank you for your wonderful support. It was a real pleasure working with you — you are a kind person, easy to get along with, and a great help. All the best for everything ahead, and I truly hope our paths cross again one day in South America.

I really loved my experience here. Spending time with the dogs was amazing and very rewarding. The tasks were easy, mainly cleaning the space, preparing food, and helping with daily care. The schedule was clearly set from the beginning but also flexible and changes were possible. Diana and everyone working there were very kind, helpful, and welcoming. The only downside for me was the location, as it is quite remote, but the area is calm, quiet, and peaceful. The closest beach is about 20 minutes away by bike, while Patong and the shelter Old Town are approximately one hour away.
