O Projecto the shelter is an amazing place that completely changed me and I highly recommend it to everyone. Being in an the shelter is a wonderful thing to experience, you learn a lot about the animals that live there and how special they are. Chiara is an amazing host, the house I stayed in was great, the lunches they provided were so good and the hours at the shelter were great, time literally flew there. Thank you also to Sharna, Ale, Daniela, Sandra and all the other amazing people I got to meet there.

Our first experience couldn't have been better. From the very first moment, we felt welcomed and cared for by the whole team. The tasks were physical but really rewarding. Being close to the animals, getting to know them, and taking care of them was such an enriching experience. We stayed in a cozy volunteer house with everything we needed, and meals were always shared, which were delicious!! Also, the working hours were always respected, and we had time to explore beautiful places in Portugal on our days off. We leave with full hearts and already wishing to come back. Paula & Alba

It was my first worldpackers experience ever and I am wondering if anything will get even close. The work hours were very respected and on my days off I explored Porto and other close by cities.Work consists of cleaning, feeding,etc and I ALWAYS had fun. The animals are all so sweet and everyone has their own unique personality.Thank you Chiara,Sharna,Sandra and Ale for being so kind and teaching me so much. I have learned so much in 4 weeks, it's incredible. They are doing such an important work and I am so honoured that I had the chance to help them.Plus: The food was always very good 🤍

Chiara, Ale, and Sharna were amazing hosts and we had a great time getting to know them. The accommodation was self contained and we had our own kitchen and living space that was shared with 1 other volunteer. The lunch was provided each day and was amazing - mainly consisting of pasta - which was delicious! Breakfast and dinner you make your own and the groceries are provided for this. All the animals are so cute and we had a great time learning about all of them. The day mainly consisted of shovelling poo, feeding, collecting hay, and chopping grass. Thank you!

This was the most incredible experience. From the second we landed into the town we were treated so well and looked after with such respect and care! Chiara is one of the most amazing people you will meet. The work is great you get to feed and clean 2 times per day with a lovely break off in the middle! The accommodation was so nice and it really felt like a home away from home! You're also only 1.5 hours from Porto and a 10 minute uber into Coimbra! The work they do is incredible and the animals are so lucky to have them! Miss ye all already!!!

Chiara, Sharna, and Sandra are all passionate individuals and a pleasure to work with. The eco-conscious team is always looking for better ways to improve and is proactive in their projects. I had a great time learning about the pigs, goats, chickens, cats, donkeys, and dogs, and hearing their individual stories. The animals' routines, including feeding and cleaning, were well thought-out. We stayed in a self-contained accommodation that had all the essentials and the house was very comfortable. I also thoroughly enjoyed the abundance of healthy and sustainable food! Overall great experience.

The shelter is a small project led by very big hearts. Everyone is involved a 100% and devotes their time to the well-being of the animals. Whatever time is left, they use it to make sure that the volunteers feel welcomed and taken care of. I encourage everyone to try this experience; even if it's your first one, you won't regret it. It's the kind of place you'll want to come back to ;)

This has truly been one of the greatest experiences ever! Chiara and Ale are amazing hosts, and I felt very welcomed from beginning to end of my stay. Getting to work with the team has been amazing, such kind people who really care about what they do and dedicate themselves to it. The animals are just so sweet and you'll want to spend all day with them. The work that goes on at the shelter is really important, and I'm so happy that I got to be a part of that for a short while. I hope I can return sometime soon!

I had the most memorable volunteering experience I could ever ask for at the shelter. I immediately felt welcomed by Chiara and Ale, who were incredible hosts, and I fell in love with all the wonderful residents at the shelter. I truly felt that the contribution we made had an impact, and I was able to learn so much during the month I was there. I would definitely consider coming back in the near future. Thank you for everything! :)
