Program Details

Join Our Animal Sanctuary – A Meaningful Experience
Are you passionate about animal welfare and looking for a hands-on experience in nature?

Our small, diverse sanctuary is a safe haven for rescued farm animals, including pigs, goats, sheep, poultry, and more. To ensure they thrive, we are looking for autonomous, reliable, and committed volunteers to join us.

Your mission:

Animal Care: Feeding and ensuring the cleanliness of their living spaces.

Land Stewardship: Maintaining our fields and outdoor areas, with a focus on weeding, clearing, and gardening.

General Upkeep: Occasional small maintenance tasks around the property (painting, sanding, or cleaning).

Why we need you:
I am currently deeply involved in critical advocacy work as an official whistleblower registered with the Défenseur des droits in Paris. This intensive administrative work keeps me away from the daily outdoor operations. I am looking for compassionate individuals who understand the importance of this cause and are willing to take initiative to keep the sanctuary running smoothly while I focus on our legal and advocacy efforts.

Practical details:

Accommodation: You will stay in your own mobile home.

Living: We share the kitchen (you are welcome to use my groceries) and the bathroom.

Requirements: You must be comfortable and self-sufficient in an outdoor environment, respectful of the space, and tidy.

If you are hardworking, independent, and want to make a real difference for animals in need, we would love to hear from you.

Join us in keeping this sanctuary a place of peace and safety.

Warmly,
Val
