I loved my experience at the Dog shelter :) The dogs were really nice and also the host Liljana is a really kind hearted person. You dont have many work hours and have a lot time for yourself which is good. It is a bit confusing where to go when you arrive at the shelter but other than that everything else was good :)) if you have any questions you can write me

This was the most heartwarming and fulfilling volunteer experience. All the pups are super sweet. I really loved talking with Liljana about the shelter and her vision for the future. You can really see the heart and soul that goes into this place. At times it can be tricky to follow instructions if you're an English speaker, you just need to be patient and willing to be a little bit creative with communication. Thank you for everything Liljana, I hope to return again one day 💛

Visiting Protect Me is a deeply meaningful experience that I cannot recommend enough. It is a wonderful place run by passionate people dedicated to doing genuine good, and there is always plenty of work to be done. The dogs will steal your heart from the moment you arrive, making it so hard to say goodbye when it is time to leave! ​I wouldn't hesitate for a second to go back. If you ever visit, please give all the sweet dogs, along with Loreta, Lili, and Liljana, a huge hug from me!

Even though I had to leave early it was an awesome week. Spending time with the dogs is the best part about it and the facilities were great also. There was only one other volunteer at my time so it was not very sociable but there is lots of potential for that as well:

I really enjoyed my time at the shelter. The dogs are in great hands and Liljana is very helpful and easy to communicate with. Everything was exactly as I expected, the facilities are great and everyone there was kind and friendly. The work was straightforward, so we had plenty of time for other activities, like walking the dogs along the beach. I also met volunteers from different countries, which was really nice. Roberto cooked us an amazing Italian lunch – papa al pomodoro, truly autentico. I would recommend this shelter to anyone! :)
