La mia esperienza con the shelter è stata la mia prima da volontario. Mi sono fermato per 3 settimane e ne sono uscito con il cuore pieno di amore. I lavori sono relativamente semplici: si tratta di portare a passeggio i cani del rifugio (all'inizio ti vengono dati i cani più semplici da gestire), aiutare nel preparare il pasto quotidiano, pulire le aree comuni e soprattutto coccolarli e passare del tempo con loro. La casetta in cui si vive è separata dal rifugio ed è basica ma se ci si sa adattare ed accontentare ha tutto il necessario per stare bene. Ale e Gabi sono meravigliosi❤
