Program Details

It is important that the person who wants to collaborate at our Dogstel is responsible, likes dogs and knows how to treat them.\nIt's not just about petting them and giving them love; you also have to have command and earn their respect.\nIf you don't like dogs, don't apply because you can tell when someone loves dogs and when they don't. :)\nLet's save everyone's time!\n


Activities & Shift

The plan is simple:\nYou collaborate for 3 days and rest 4.\n\n- During the days of volunteering, you have to perform cleaning or maintenance tasks, in addition to taking care of the dogs.\nAll in a beautiful mountain setting and a good atmosphere of camaraderie.\n\n- If you come as a couple/duo, we will schedule 2 of the 3 volunteering days together. The 3 days are quite difficult. But we already arrange so that you have most days together volunteering.\n\n- Food: you have a full kitchen to prepare your meals. Sometimes a group meal is prepared but usually each person cooks their own.\nWhen we meet at the meeting point, bring food for the first 3 days since during your volunteering days you cannot go out to buy and thus you will be provided.


Rules

Smoking inside the house is not allowed.\nDo not disturb the dogs; always stay calm so they can rest and be at ease. They are always the priority.\nMarijuana use is strictly prohibited. If you are someone who needs marijuana daily, this is not the place for you.\nBe organized and clean with your things and the common areas. We want everything to last :)
