The Experience

We need a person to take care of the dogs in our shelter. The daily care consists of feeding them, cleaning and maintaining their spaces, administering medications, monitoring their condition, and giving them a lot of love. For this reason we are looking for people who are used to living with dogs; if they have worked in other shelters, even better. In addition to the work at the shelter, help is always needed on the farm for maintenance, cleaning, cultivation, etc.

I spent a month at the shelter and it was a wonderful and unforgettable experience ❤️ I left behind a big family of people and dogs. The estate is incredible, in the middle of nature, with lots of space and views that you only find there. You can feel all the love and effort that Sara and Manu have put into creating this place for the dogs. Sara, Manu and Wanda are incredible and very interesting people. They made me feel very comfortable from the beginning and have opened my mind a lot. Your cooking was always excellent! And the dogs, who have stolen my heart with their different characters and
