I really enjoyed my time at the shelter Rescante! The work with the dogs was very fulfilling and they all were really sweet. They live a good life at the shelter and with volunteering you improve it even more. Edwin and Jamie have been very kind hosts and with the other volunteers it created a family feeling. I already miss all the dogs and hope to come back one day! 💞

Linda Anne is a very wonderful person, polite and collaborative in all the shelter's tasks, respectful, cheerful, very funny and responsible in every way.... We want to thank you for coming to give love to my dogs and cats; they, through my voice, say thank you... Without a doubt, I recommend Anne for any volunteering... We love you very much

I did't stay at the main-shelter, but a smaller secondary location with less dogs and more gardening and cleaning, so my review is on that location.
I really enjoyed my time there! Nelly was lovely, and the work hours were respected. She was flexible when i wanted to combine my stay with visits to other islands, and answered all questions. The shelter is not at the location pinned on the map, but a bit further away, about an hour away from town, with walking and bus. There's a curfew at 10pm. The work was easy, I got a private room, and shared a kitchen and toilet w. another volunteer.

It was a beautiful experience, I ended up liking it so much, the dogs are sweet angels and the working hours are fair and good for your schedule so that you can go out and enjoy the island, the only thing that surprised me was that I didn't got a bike neither fruits as it was listed in the page, besides that everything was good

I loved my stay at the shelter. The work hours were respected & I had enough free time to visit the other islands. The staff are lovely & welcoming. The dogs are so sweet & work is always a joy because the main task is to spend lots of time with them - giving them love & attention. The islands are really beautiful .. with many things to do & so much wildlife to see. If you are a dog lover, I would highly recommend volunteering at the shelter. It is a very rewarding experience & the dogs really need you. It was sad saying goodbye & I hope to go back soon. Thank you for everything! ❤️🐕

This was such an amazing experience we didn't want to leave! Gloria, her family and all the other volunteers were so welcoming I felt like part of their family from day one! Providing love and care for the dogs was such a great experience- we would go back in a heartbeat. I highly recommend this to others.

Gloria and her family will make you feel like one of them from the very first day. They are such lovely people who have a lot of time for the volunteers. The dogs are all so lovely and we are going to miss them dearly. The work was fun and you knew you were helping the family develop the land for the dogs or themselves. Thank you very much Gloria and family for your stay and help over the last month. We hope to be reunited again soon one day.

The shelter is an incredible place. Each dog greets you with a lot of affection, and you notice how every day you are contributing to the project. From the first day we felt welcomed and embraced, and the tasks and the schedules were always respected 100%. Special mention to Edwin, the volunteer who has been here the longest, since he made us feel at home. Being a volunteer here is to leave with the biggest heart and feel the love of all the animals that live here. I would have stayed much longer!!! Don't hesitate, you can be of great help and enjoy the Galápagos Islands.

We could not have had a better experience at the shelter. The work they do with the dogs is commendable, and from the first moment they were clear about the tasks and the support they needed. We have greatly enjoyed the experience and we are leaving behind dogs that we have loved as our own. The shelter needs help, and any volunteer with the willingness to work will be of great value. Truly, what they do with the island's dogs is admirable, and the shelter will always be in our hearts. I wish you all the best and I will make sure to recommend you.

Pasar un mes en el refugio ha sido una experiencia increíble. El equipo hace un trabajo admirable, rescatando, cuidando y rehabilitando a perros con muchísimo amor y dedicación. Ver la transformación de los animales gracias a su esfuerzo es realmente conmovedor. El ambiente es acogedor, y cada día se siente gratificante al ayudar en su bienestar. Recomiendo esta experiencia a cualquiera que ame a los animales. ¡Gracias al refugio por su increíble labor!

Marina is a very nice and hardworking girl who helped us a lot at the shelter, not only with daily tasks but also with many ideas to keep improving our Foundation day by day. She is very loving with the dogs and we had very interesting volunteer chats and gatherings, exchanging cultures, customs and traditions. She is a person worthy of entrusting any task... thank you for coming to give my animal friends so much love.
