La Casa de las Estrellas
The animal sanctuary and rescue center is a unique place for a volunteering experience. There is a variety of rescued animals, who are all treated and cared for as individuals. There is the opportunity to spend time with and connect to the animals, as well as learn about them and their needs.
I am happy to share everything with the people living at my place. I would like people to be part of the community, help each other out, and treat everybody, including animals and the surroundings, with respect.
We also share meals together and we want to respect all types of diets, and expect the same from our volunteers.

About the experience in: Teguise, Lanzarote, Spain
Mexico
My experience during the 3 months I lived there was incredible. At first there were some communication problems, but over time we improved and managed to reach mutual agreements. The animals are loving, noble and beautiful, and living with them was the most special. It is not an experience for everyone, as it requires constant physical work, although over time it becomes more bearable. Moreover, meeting such special people, going to the beach and relaxing, sharing moments and laughter made this experience unforgettable.

Savihe was a very cheerful, energetic volunteer with a positive attitude. She always worked hard, collaborated with the team, and was kind and respectful to others as well as to the house rules and the sanctuary's rules.
She showed great affection and commitment to the animals, becoming a very important part of the team during her stay.
Thank you for all your work, we miss you very much ๐๐ผ๐ซ

The weeks went by so fast! I'm grateful to be given the opportunity and trust to do some extra work and work with new animal arrivals. The communication style of the person managing the sanctuary at the time of my visit felt stressful and confrontational. This was discussed with the owner and is actively being worked on, but did leave a bit of a negative feeling with me. I really enjoyed the welcoming sense of community that grew among the volunteers. And I loved hanging out with the animals, although it can be a bit hectic sometimes.

I lived an amazing experience in the shelter. I really enjoyed taking care of all these animals. At first it's a lot to learn but once you get it, it's all very nice. I just have to say that's not a place for everybody, you will live with animals everywhere and, because of that, it's not the cleanest place. It's noisy, you can be "overstimulated" but it worth it. Also live with other volunteers from all around the world and share 24/7 life can be really fun, I really spend an wonderful time. (Special kiss to Juanito)

The home is in a very interesting place. I liked the environment, and the challenge. They was welcoming and upfront with me. They told me what to expect, and what we discussed, they hold them to it. The only downside for me: When they told me, it is not an easy place to be. I should had listen more. :) For me it was a challenging place, because there are too much animal in too little space. Thx for the experience.

I stayed here for two months and I absolutely loved it! You feed, water, and clean up for the animals everyday (except days off) it's simple work but it can be a lot to take in at first and some tasks are more physical. There are quite a few animals living inside the house with you which definitely can be overwhelming at times but I grew to love it! I met so many great people and we had a wonderful time together. To get into town is about a 45 minute walk and you have access to bus stops there as well as the beach! The work done here is truly amazing and gives so many animals a second chance.
