ARA is the perfect place to go to if it's your first time volunteering. The shifts are well organised. The staff is very very friendly and welcoming and they really want you to feel comfortable. As there is place for many volunteers, you meet a lot of new people, which is very nice if you go by yourself. They da great job at ARA, some dogs' transformations are literally insane. Don't hesitate to go there! :))

It was our first time volunteering at ARA – and we can honestly say it was a really great experience! The place is huge and provides everything the animals need. The daily routines are well organized: there are two shifts per day (morning and evening) and they don't just include walking the dogs and cleaning but also dedicated time to train, play and socialize with the animals. Between the shifts there's plenty of free time to explore the nearby town and connect with other volunteers. We had such a great time, met amazing people (and lots of lovely animals) and will definitely be back!

Hannah was a truly wonderful volunteer during her two weeks at our dogs and cats shelter. She brought kindness, positivity, and reliability every single day. She was not only caring and gentle with the animals, but also very responsible in keeping the volunteer house clean and organized, which made a big difference for everyone. What impressed us most was her dedication—she even worked on the day she left, showing her strong commitment and thoughtfulness. We are very grateful for her help!

This was my third time at ARA and it definitely won't be the last time. The shelter is truly amazing. Once more I was impressed to see that everything is given for the animals. The staff take very good care of the volunteers, organize the shifts very well and you can tell that your work is appreciated. I enjoyed every second of working here, whether it was cleaning, walking the dogs or socialising with the animals. You also have plenty of free time. ARA will always have a special place in my heart and I will come back as soon as possible! I can't recommend volunteering at ARA highly enough.

We were so fortunate to have Stefanie volunteer with us at the shelter. She is an incredibly proactive and responsible volunteer who always went above and beyond what was asked of her. Not only did she handle her tasks with great care, but she also took the initiative to fix and improve things around the shelter.Stefanie has a natural gift with animals – patient, gentle, and attentive – and it was clear how much the animals trusted and loved her. She was always punctual and very hard working

ARA is a wonderful place that lovingly cares for so many dogs and cats without families. I was truly impressed by the excellent organization and the quality of care provided to the pets. The working hours during the shifts were always respected. I'm happy to have contributed for two weeks in a beautiful shelter with such a noble purpose. Congratulations to the whole ARA team for the amazing work you do. It was a pleasure to meet you and contribute! Best of luck, and keep it up!

We are grateful for Clara’s time and dedication as a volunteer at our animal shelter. She is reliable, friendly, and committed to the well-being of the dogs. Clara went above and beyond to spend extra time with the dogs, taking them out for walks, trips to town, or even to the beach so they can enjoy a fun and enriching day. Her care, patience, and hard work made a difference in the lives of the animals here. Clara’s genuine love for animals shine through.

Well this was my first solo/ volunteer experience and it certainly won't be my last here. I had the most amazing 2 weeks having met so many amazing people and getting to work around such sweet dogs and cats. ARA is run so well everything is just amazing, the staff are wonderful and make you feel very welcome, you have plenty of freedom between shifts to do what you please such as socialising with the dogs/ cats or exploring what's around. Honestly I could not recommend this place more thank you so much for such a wonderful experience and I hope you would have me back at a later date ❤️

Jessica is a great volunteer! She is always proactive, reliable, and eager to help wherever she’s needed. Her positive attitude and friendly nature brighten every day—she’s consistently in a good mood and brings great energy to the team. Most importantly, Jessica has a wonderful way with our animals. She’s gentle, patient, and attentive, and it’s clear how much they respond to her care. We feel so lucky to have her as part of our volunteer community and hope she will be back.

ARA is a special place, that I was able to visit for the third time now. You really get the feeling that your work matters and helps the animals. The team of the staff does great work. A plus is of course, that you get to meet so many new friends - and if it's not your first time - meet so many old friends again!

Ricarda is a highly valued volunteer. She is responsible, reliable, and always goes above and beyond what is asked. She often takes extra walks, spends additional time with the dogs, and shows remarkable patience with those considered more difficult. Ricarda’s dedication and positive attitude shine through in everything she does, and both our team and the animals truly benefit from her efforts. She is hardworking, compassionate, and always willing to help wherever needed. We are very grateful

I had the opportunity to spend some time at ARA and I am incredibly grateful for this experience. The shelter is run with so much passion and dedication, and you can immediately feel how important the animals' wellbeing is here. The staff and volunteers are very friendly, supportive, and always do their best for every single the shelter. For me personally, it was a truly enriching time – I not only learned a lot about working with animals (to my surprise, there are even dog training sessions with a professional trainer, Hugo, twice a week), but I also met wonderful people! Thx for everything

Tara volunteered at our dogs and cats shelter for two weeks, with much of her time dedicated to caring for the kittens. She was attentive to their needs, patient in handling them, and quick to notice any changes in their behavior or health. Alongside her work with the kittens, she supported the team in other daily tasks, showing reliability and a positive attitude. Her efforts made a clear difference in the well-being of the youngest animals in our care. We hope to welcome her back!
