It was absolutely amazing and I wouldn't trade it for anything. Since I'd never worked with animals before, I was so grateful that everyone was super friendly and helpful, walking me through everything step-by-step. Giulia, Oriane, and Nikki especially were just the kindest people and really made the whole time great for everyone. The work was very easy and really took exactly 3 hours or less and the longer that I stayed, the better it got and the more I worked because I saw the love everyone puts into running the place. Added, I'll be forever greatful for the opportunity to foster a dog
