Protectora de animales ADAP

ADAP is more than a simple animal shelter; we are a multispecies community where you can experience a unique and unforgettable volunteering experience.
Here you will experience deep emotions, forge meaningful bonds, and enjoy relationships that will be etched in your heart.

With your dedication and love, you will improve the lives of many animals that need care and affection. Our main goal is that during your stay, you feel at home, surrounded by your family, and that all the animals at Villa ADAP also feel part of that family.

If you love nature, enjoy the company of animals, and want to share experiences with other travelers and local volunteers, this is your place. Come and experience the honest and selfless love that only animals can offer you. Don't hesitate any longer, we are waiting for you with open arms! 🐾❤️

At ADAP, we are, above all, a multispecies family made up of animals, local volunteers, and Worldpackers volunteers. 🐾❤️

Who are the local volunteers?
Local volunteers are those who are part of our family and reside in Catalonia. They dedicate themselves to caring for, walking, and attending to the animals at the shelter, which means you will be in almost daily contact with them. These wonderful companions will accompany you during your shift and share their experience with you. In addition, they will always be willing to help with anything they can so that your stay is as smooth and enjoyable as possible.

Currently, we have an active team of 30 volunteers, who organize to visit the shelter an average of twice a month or once a week in different shifts.

Everything we do is based on respect, love, camaraderie, and empathy, fundamental values that forge the foundations of the ADAP project. We believe that every member of our community, including the Worldpackers volunteers, brings something unique and valuable.

For us, the presence of the Worldpackers volunteers is essential at Villa ADAP. We will do everything possible to make you feel at home and enjoy an enriching experience, full of love and learning.

The only essential requirement, in addition to the desire to live this immersive and enriching experience, is that travelers have a valid travel insurance that includes coverage in case of accidents or medical emergencies during their stay. This is important so that we can all enjoy the experience with peace of mind. If medical attention is needed, it will be the insurance itself that will indicate to them the center to go to and the steps to follow.
Apart from that...

We are excited to meet you and share this adventure together! 🌟

My experience at the shelter was very nice. I recommend this volunteering to people who really love the shelter and are committed to its welfare. Since dogs and cats need people willing to help with their basic needs, dedicate time to them, but above all give them a lot of love. Although the place does not have the best amenities, it is a good experience to be in touch with nature and connect with the shelter. One arrives with the intention of helping them but ends up realizing that they also help us with their affection.

Experiencing the shelter has been unforgettable. 🐾 Being part of the care and rehabilitation of dogs and cats with difficult stories leaves a mark that fills the heart. If you love the shelter and have love to give, this volunteer opportunity is for you. ❤️ But remember: you are also part of taking care of the place where you live. Taking care, communicating and improving is also leaving something good for whoever comes after.

They love their little dogs intensely, so the rest doesn't matter. If you go with that idea, and you like the mountains, you'll be happy.
