For me ARA was truly the best place for my first travel experience on my own. I'm so grateful for everything I learned, the people I met and all the memories I made. I've met so many special souls, both people and animals that I'll never forget. ARA will always have a special place in my heart and I will definitely come back as soon as possible!

Her special bond with Tuna, one of our most difficult and lonely dog, speaks volumes about her patience and empathy. She always takes the time to make her feel safe and understood.

Luca has been a returning volunteer with us many times, and having her back for another two weeks was genuinely rewarding. She is always an exceptional help—responsible, compassionate, and fully engaged in every task. Her gentle approach and steady presence mean a lot to Rafiki, one of our most challenging and solitary dog, with whom she spends generous time and patience. We deeply appreciate Luca’s ongoing dedication and the warmth he brings to our shelter each time he returns.

ARA is my home away from home. It's my favourite place on earth and I am so grateful I found it and can keep returning. The team does an incredible job in caring for and rehoming animals no matter their background and it is a privilege to contribute to this mission as a volunteer.

My experience at ARA has been absolutely amazing. The shelter is so well organized and volunteers are prepared and trained before and during their stay. I have enjoyed working with all the other volunteers and the lovely animals every day. I was also happily surprised that we got training from a professional trainer every week to help us to better guide the dogs in preparation for adoption. Being together with so many other international volunteers from all regions and all ages has been an enriching experience. I will definitely come back to ARA in the future!
