I had a wonderful time at the organization!! I loved working with the dogs and animals, just so much love I got and lots and lots of cuddles. The accommodation was cozy and comfortable. Sneha and her Team were so hospitable and loving always making sure I had enough food or asking if I need anything else:). This experience was exactly what I needed, so much dog love and some stability after traveling for a while and also meeting amazing people, tasting the lovely Nepalese food:)) Thank you all so much for everything! I can absolutely recommend this project:))

Thank you so much for your kind words, dear Frida. We already started missing you, especially our dogs. They missed your cuddles and walks with you. And thank you for donating leashes for our dogs. We hope to see you again, and Sneha's Care is always open for you whenever you want to come again. Thank you :)

I unfortunately had to leave my stay with Sneha early due to some personal health issues but the team working here is filled with very lovely people who are very accommodating and caring for their volunteers. I wish I could have stayed for longer, my only recommendation for other travelers is to consider how the environmental differences of Nepal may affect you compared to wherever you are from.

I spent a month at the organization and honestly didn't want to leave. The dogs are amazing. The family who live at the organization full time are so sweet and great with the dogs and the volunteers. The doctors are nice and work with dogs. There is a good amount of cleaning to do, but you do get to spend a good amount of time cuddling/walking/bathing the dogs as well. I miss these dogs more than anything.
