I spent two weeks volunteering, all the shelter are well looked after by the dedicated team. They really love and care for all the shelter at the centre and in the local area/temple.
My days were spent cleaning up the area, helping with the food, washing and walking the paraplegic the shelter and plenty of cuddles!
My things to note would be it may be better suited for a pair of volunteers as it is quite a remote area (this being said I enjoyed my time and don't mind being solo :) ) and I would say it's easier if you ride a moped to get around.

If you love the shelter, feel like having a bit of a routine, don't mind living in a quiet area and getting a little dirty sometimes you are likely to enjoy this experience as much as me. I loved being able to brush, play with, feed, walk and shower the shelter. I also enjoyed learning how to care for the paraplegic the shelter. There was always something to clean, to tidy up, or other ways to contribute so it felt like our help was always meaningful. The ladies working there are incredibly kind and we were lucky enough to spend time with other volunteers which made our experience even more enriching.

We had a wonderful time volunteering at the shelter and felt welcomed as part of the team from day one. Bang, Ohn, Franz and Franziska are incredibly supportive and do an amazing job. It's best to clarify with Verity at the start which tasks you're allowed to do, as some require experience. the shelter are very sweet, each with their own unique story and personality and working with them was incredibly rewarding. We highly recommend volunteering here if you love the shelter and want to help - even if it's simply by giving them love, cuddles and attention.

I really enjoyed my stay at the shelter. The team I worked with were very kind and made me feel welcome. Working with the shelter was a genuinely rewarding experience. They are all sweet, well behaved and clearly well cared for. The area around the shelter is also a big plus. It's located right next to a quiet, beautiful beach where you can walk the shelter and the surroundings feel peaceful and relaxing. It's a lovely place to spend time outdoors, both with the shelter and on your own. Overall, I had a good time there and would recommend it to other dog lovers.
