We need volunteers who love animals. We are the only animal shelter on the island, a nonprofit organization that is gradually growing and, as such, welcoming more animals in need. The duties of new volunteers will be basic support tasks at the shelter, such as cleaning, walking, caring for our animals, and spending time with them.

Interesting exp. with ups and downs. (: Shelter is in a beautiful nature, you can enjoy it with walking dogs everyday, cycling, walking and explore the La Gomera. You got a small cozy container with a cozy bed. It's directly on the place where all the dogs and cats live - you are everytime surrounded by loud noise and smell. The hygienic conditions pushed me to my limits tbh - there is no bathroom without dogs/pi/ka. Shower is dogshower, bathroom and kitchen only usable after cleaning. Team is very nice, welcoming, tolerant (exept for 1 passive aggressive girl). 🙏🏼🌻 Work was very easy.

My time at Pro Animal was truly incredible! You receive so much love from the animals, and the people on-site welcome you as if you've always been part of their family. You learn a lot about the animals and how to care for them. So,if you want to do something genuinely good, this is the perfect place to be. You should be aware that working with animals always comes with certain smells, noise & dirt. The container accommodation is quite minimalist - but with a bit of creativity, you can make it cozy and really enjoy your stay. I'm deeply thankful to everyone there for six wonderful weeks <3

My experience was amazing and I recommend the project 100%! The. team were very welcoming and helpful to me and their dedication to the animals is clear. The animals were wonderful to be around and I learned a lot. I agree with other reviews that it's like a big family and I loved being part of it.There's a lot of freedom for volunteers because the work is done in the morning, leaving afternoons free. La the project is stunningly beautiful and the sun always shines. Laura, Luis, Patri, Ale, Carolina, Ferne - thank you for your help (particularly with my Spanish!) and for all the laughs. Volveré!

I could learn a lot during my two months at the project and it was a really nice experience! I loved working with the cats and taking care of them. Also my tasks were really diverse which was great, for example cleaning the rooms, bathing the cats, painting, preparing food and medication but also going for a walk with a dog or sometimes to the vet. (If you're more of a dog-person, you can choose to work more with them) Also everyone from the team was super friendly and helpful, thank u for everything:) I'd recommend this opportunity to every animal-lover!

My volunteering experience at Pro Animal in La the project was just wonderful! The whole team is very welcoming and happy to help you. The tasks are quite easy and they give you a lot of freedom when you want to work which was amazing. You have more than enough time to explore the island. The only thing which I think is important to know, is that your Spanish should be on a good level to enjoy this experience even more. But even for me with very basic Spanish knowledge it was an overall amazing experience and I will defenitely come back at some point :)
