Durante 3 semanas eu vivi 3 meses! O objetivo da ONG é lindo, e o cuidado que eles tem com os animais é inspirador… Os anfitriões Nelly e Franco são pessoas muito queridas!!! Os dogs são incríveis e muito dóceis e cheios de amor! O lugar é lindo com paisagens maravilhosas e o trabalho é adaptável. Voltei querendo ficar mais tempo, mas infelizmente sem poder. Com certeza eu retorno!

Experiência incrível! Nelly e Franco são pessoas adoráveis. O trabalho é tranquilo e o amor que você recebe dos cães vale por tudo. Recomendo mais pessoas viverem essa experiência. A ONG precisa de mais voluntários para ajudar no cuidado diário com os cães. O trabalho que você terá será limpar, repor a comida, levar para passear, brincar, dar e receber muito amor. ♥️

My stay at the Shelter was great. Nelly and Franco are amazing hosts, and their dedication to helping dogs is truly inspiring. Unfortunately, a few volunteers had left before I arrived, which made the workload a bit heavier. However, Nelly was always checking in on us to make sure we were doing okay. The work is quite physical, and there are a lot of stairs. But the experience was absolutely worth it. For Sunday Lunches, they cook the most delicious Sicilian dishes for the volunteers. This was my first volunteering experience, and I loved it. I would definitely recommend it to others.

Such an amazing experience! Nelly and Franco are lovely and made me feel super welcome from the start. The dogs were the best part—spending time with them just brought me so much joy everyday ❤️ The accommodation is simple, but being with the other volunteers really made it feel like home. Especially waking up to the beautiful view over the Sicilian countryside was incredible. It was peaceful, quiet, and exactly the kind of break I didn't know I needed. I felt truly comfortable here and can't wait to come back. It was an experience I'll never forget.

I really enjoyed my 3 weeks spent at the shelter. Every day the sun was scorching which sometimes made the work difficult but it helped starting at 7am so you could skip the hottest time of the day. The dogs in the shelter are literal angels on earth and i'm going to miss them all so much. The weekly Sunday lunch was delicious. The fellow volunteers from all corners of the world were amazing, every night was spent playing cards at sunset. Overall, I would really recommend this place to everyone, it can be tiring but it's worth it to spend even a second with the sweet doggies at the shelter :)

This is an amazing place to volunteer and help out. I stayed here for 3 weeks but now wish I had stayed longer. Neli and Franco are both great people and it's an amazing thing they are doing. The work is enjoyable, keeps you healthy (from all the walks) and is good for the soul(you spend all day with dogs). Every Sunday Neli and Franco cook beautiful sicilian lunches and sometimes there is even a sweat treat after. For anyone wanting to da meaningful and purposeful thing I would definitely recommend volunteering here.

La mia esperienza al Rifugio the shelter è stata incredibile. Nelly e Franco sono ospiti gentilissimi e accoglienti. Il lavoro può essere impegnativo, ma è molto gratificante. La dedizione che hanno verso i cani è davvero ammirevole. Il rifugio è immerso nella natura e facilmente raggiungibile in autobus; Franco è sempre disponibile ad accompagnarti alle fermate o al supermercato. Se ami gli animali e la vita all'aria aperta, questo posto fa per te. Grazie di cuore per questa bellissima esperienza!

Nely and Franco have created the most beautiful and inspiring safe place for dogs who have had some bad luck in their lives. The shelter is very well organised and built to prioritise the dogs' well-being, even though it solely relies on donations. Yes, the work is physical but time flies when working with these beautiful creatures as well as with the volunteers. I really felt at home and can't wait to be back! Overall, if you are looking for a fulfilling experience, a source of inspiration, contact with dogs and an opportunity to actually make an impact, then this place is ideal❤️

My time at the shelter was indescribable and the five weeks I was here went by way too fast! Nelly and Franco are the most lovely people who care so much about the dogs and volunteers. The work can be physical, but very rewarding. Every single dog has stolen my heart and I will miss them all. I can recommend this experience to any- and everyone that loves animals! Hope to come back soon! Grazie mille!! 🩷

My stay at Nelly and Franco's shelter has been absolutely amazing. They are such kind open minded people, the nature around is BEAUTIFUL and of course the dogs are the cutest creatures on earth. You really feel like you're having a positive impact volunteering here and you wake up in the morning with a purpose. I would recommend to any dog or in general nature lover to come to this place. If you're thinking about volunteering at the shelter don't hesitate to contact me for more informations; I would be more than happy to explain all the details etc ❤️ This place is truly incredible
