I've had an amazing experience at the Animal Wellness Trust. They truly care about their cause so much and are really involved in the wellbeing of their cats & dogs as well as the ones still living on the streets. The tasks were simple and the hours very reasonable. I fell in love with one of their dogs and had such a hard time leaving. I will for sure be back! A big thanks to Nuwan, Hector, and all the other staff members who make this such an amazing place. I really appreciate it!

This was my first World Packers experience and it definitely didn't disappoint! I had such a great time hanging out with the adorable dogs and cats, who were all so loved by everyone at AWT. I also had the chance to meet lots of other lovely volunteers. The hours were super reasonable and Nuwan helped keeper the vibes nice and social.
