Program Details

This experience is hands-on, emotional, and deeply rewarding — you’ll truly make a difference. 🐾✨


Activities & Shift

You’ll be part of our small, passionate team dedicated to saving and caring for abandoned dogs.
The work can be physical and messy, but it’s filled with purpose and heart.

Your main tasks may include:
🦴 Feeding the dogs and ensuring everyone gets their share
🧹 Cleaning kennels and outdoor spaces to keep them safe and healthy
🩺 Helping with basic care (checking for wounds, giving medicine if needed)
🛠️ Small maintenance tasks like cleaning, painting, or repairs
📸 (Optional) Helping with photos or social media if you enjoy creative work
🐕 Socializing and walking dogs — especially shy ones who need extra love and patience

You’ll never be alone — we work as a team, share laughs, and support each other every day.


Most days start early in the morning. You’ll help around 4–5 hours a day, with plenty of free time in the afternoon to rest, explore, or just enjoy the dogs’ company.
2 days off per week.


Rules

We value volunteers who are reliable, caring, and respectful — people who want to help animals, not just visit for photos. 🐾
If you’re ready to make a real impact and be part of a loving team, we can’t wait to welcome you to our shelter family. 💚
