It was a beautiful experience, I did it again for a second time and stayed longer than I had planned. Diana treated me super well and the people who work with her always help you, they're a lovely team. Thanks for everything❀️

I absolutely loved the experience of living with all the dogs. It was even better than I imagined! What I enjoyed the most was having the dogs sleep in my room. Every night, I would come back from the beach (which was only a 15-minute motorbike ride away), and they would welcome me ✨ The work was super easy and manageable. I just had to clean, help with feeding the dogs, bathe them, and brush them. Nothing complicated at all, and seeing them happy and relaxed made everything worth it. I 100% recommend this volunteer experience to anyone who loves dogs! 🐢❀️

I loved being part of this team! There are dogs of all shapes and personalities, and the staff are true experts who treat them with immense love and respect. From day one, everyone was super welcoming, always ready to explain things with a smile, even when tired. You get plenty of free time to explore the shelter, and Diana is always helpful with great recommendations. Jack, Zack, Tim, K, Diana, and all the sweet dogs, I miss you already and wish you the best of luck!

I really enjoyed my stay with Diana and all the dogs! I even had a private room (shared it with a cute furry roommate). She was super chill about the schedule and when I have to start my shift. It took around 4 - 5h but the work is mainly simple cleaning duties or making the shelter food (which was my favorite so fun!) Plenty of time to cuddle the dogs, brush them and give them the love and attention they deserve. She also took me on a few day trips which was cool so I saw local sides of the shelter as wellβ™‘ The whole team was super nice and open for questions all the time :)

I had a great experience volunteering here. From the beginning, I felt welcomed and had the chance to meet some truly amazing staff who were supportive and hardworking throughout my time there. At first, the environment felt a little daunting because it seemed somewhat disorganized but after spending more time there, I realized the place was actually very well cared for. A lot of effort goes into maintaining cleanliness, preparing daily tasks, and keeping everything running smoothly behind the scenes. And a big thanks to Diana. She had great recommendations to go out when tasks were done.

I missed to write a review. But I didnt want to miss to say, that you were a great help during her stay with us. After a short introduction, she was able to work very independently and quickly understood the daily routines. She handled all dogs very well and got along with each of them without any problems. She is an easygoing person, and it was pleasant to have her around. Communication was easy, and she adapted well to the environment here. We appreciated her help and for her future travels!
