The Experience

Si te gusta los Animales, rechazas el abandono y maltrato animal, te invitamos en Nuestra Finca. Tenemos desde palomas rescatados hasta caballos viejitos que ya no sirven para ser útil. Esperan por ti, puedes ayudar en limpieza, bañarlos, darlos de comer y que se sientan queridos de nuevo por humanos. Atrévete. TENERIFE también invita en los ratos libres ir a la Playa o conocer el Teide. Gracias

I absolutely loved this volounteering experience in Tenerife. Taking care of the dogs and cats was such an amazing and meaningful experience, and I truly felt I had a positive impact on this reality. The working hours were very manageable and left enough free time to explore Tenerife and enjoy the experience to the fullest. I also had a great time with the other volunteer and felt very comfortable throughout my stay. A huge thank you to Myrna and Paco, for being incredible hosts and making me feel at home. I will miss the dogs so much! I recommend this experience to anyone who loves animals

I had a beautiful time at Myrna's home, I was welcomed and hosted wholeheartedly and it was a great experience through and through. The dogs and cats are the cutest and very well taken care of. You can see the love for the animals in every corner of the home. I would definitely recommend the voluntary!

Staying with Myrna and Paco for two weeks was truly an honor. Myrna is a woman with huge heart and a deep love for animals. The animals are just amazing, it's impossible not to fall in love with them. The work wasn't difficult, just a few hours a day, and I had my own room with constant access to the fridge. Thank you for everything – I couldn't have wished for a better first Worldpackers experience.❤️ I'd love to come back someday!!

I went to Tenerife for three weeks and stayed with Myrna, which was truly the best Worldpackers experience! I enjoyed spending time with all the wonderful dogs she has, and the work was very simple, taking only around two hours a day. Myrna and Paco welcomed me as though I were part of their family, and I really felt at home in their house. Myrna is a lovely, smart woman with her heart in the right place! Everything was perfect, and I would love to come back in the future! THANK YOU, Myrna, for everything! :)❤️❤️❤️❤️

If you want to be inspired by the courageous Myrna and seek impact in small ways, this is the place for you. Myrna is an incredible woman who does anything and everything, the real question is what doesn't she do? My time here was spent taking off some responsibilities of their shoulders such as feeding the beautiful beings of their home, and generally cleaning and assisting in the farm. If you love animals, aren't afraid to get dirty, this is the place to go. Both Myrna and Paco were very welcoming, I also felt very safe in their home. Thank you both for welcoming me and for what you do! <3

Hi Eliana, thanks for everything, these weeks were teamwork, and even you had a few moments little health problems, you were also laughing and helping. The animals escaped to your room, while they were feeling great with you.. Gracias y hasta siemore
