Spending time here was a really rewarding adventure. The dogs are full of energy and affection, and you quickly feel connected to them. Each day brings small but meaningful moments while caring for them. At the beginning it can be a challenge to get used to all the names and locations, but soon the routine flows naturally. The volunteer housing is quite simple and could be more comfortable, yet it doesn’t take long to adjust and focus on the joy of being with the dogs.

Overall, it was a wonderful and enriching experience. The dogs are incredibly affectionate and it’s impossible not to feel their love every day. Looking after them gave me a strong sense of purpose. At first, the routine can seem overwhelming—trying to remember the names of so many dogs and where each one belongs—but after a few days everything becomes familiar and much easier. The accommodation for volunteers could be improved, but with time you find ways to adjust and make the most of it.

Helen is awesome! And an amazing lady who is really doing such a good thing. It was great to volunteer with and for her. I would’ve loved some more company while I was there, but the dogs are incredible and make sure to say hi to William and Arlo (my 2 favourites!)

It was my first Worldpackers experience and it was great. Helen is very kind and she is doing amazing job with the dogs. At the beginning it's difficult to learn the routine and remember dogs' names, but over time you'll get it. The work isn't hard but you have to be a true dog lover and not afraid to get your hands dirty. Days off are not guaranteed and when it's not enough volunteers you might have to work a bit longer, but I enjoyed my stay anyway.

It was a great experience, but not for everyone. You’ve to be a true dog lover.
Don't expect luxury or a place with great amenities to stay, it's basic but has what you need. Be prepared to get dirty, to listen to occasional doggy orchestra, but it’ll be super worth it for the love you receive from them.
My advice is to enjoy these amazing souls as much as you can and be open to meet other volunteers, they can make u feel at home.
And Helen is the most animal-loving persn I’ve ever met. She’s so committed to her animals that she would do anythng for them. She has been very thoughtful with us
