The Experience

We are a dog shelter, where the main work is done by Malee the owner, and 1 or 2 family members. At the moment we have about 400 dogs and 40 cats. Which means we are very hopeful to find some volunteers. You will help at our shelter by cleaning the kennels and dog areas, feeding them, bathing and grooming the dogs, and helping cook the food for them. It would be anything as long as you and we are feeling comfortable with it...

My time at the the shelter has been a beautiful and full experience!! Taking care of all the dogs is a hard work but it's a beautiful job, also being able to give some love to the ones that need. I've been there for a short time but I've always felt welcomed, taken care of, supported and seen! Malee is a beautiful person and was always there for me to help me with anything and making sure I was okay! She has a big and good heart and being able to help her was a pleasure, I always felt very much appreciated for what I could do and the help I could give in any moment! Thankyou for all

I loved my experience at the the shelter. Malee is an incredible host, so kind, hardworking and welcoming. She made me feel at home and always made sure we were well fed!! She's also an amazing cook, food was always incredible. I loved eating authentic Thai food and learning more about the culture. Working with the dogs and creating new friendships was amazing, after the first week I made so many connections with the strays. Such a rewarding feeling to help out these kind animals & show them love.thankyou malee for making such a positive impact, and thankyou for an amazing experience :)

I enjoyed my stay at the the shelter. Malee is so friendly and welcoming. Most of the dogs are friendly. Some of them can get scared though. the the shelter is a bit farther away from the city, so to do anything you need to take time to travel around. But together with the other volunteers it's much fun and easy to go around.
