My experience with Ally was one of the best! She is a totally amazing woman with a huge heart who cares about the well-being of both her animals and her volunteers. I never felt so at home as with her. I really recommend this experience to other volunteers who want to be in contact with animals and nature.

I highly recommend this experience for proactive individuals unafraid of cleaning tasks. At the Sanctuary of Dogs, Allyson's compassion for the guest house is inspiring. Her strength and wonderful personality are admirable. Living and sharing meals with her and other volunteers created a strong community bond. The sanctuary is located a bit far from the city center, with no nearby bus stops, which adds to its peaceful atmosphere but requires careful transportation planning. My time there was fulfilling and enriching.

This experience is for animal and countryside lovers. The place is reachable just by a host's car. Allyson is nice woman, she loves to cook, and she really trying to improve herself, she have 25 dogs, 3 cats, rabbits and chicken, all live together in one big house. Host mostly need deep cleaning, mopping and organizing help of the house.

Yes, it's a place for animal lovers as it's advertised.
How to reach the place is explained on the description.
I don't live together with the chickens, rabbits .. in the house but in the property as it's a Sanctuary.
Despite the fact that you stood for 2 days and didn't do any of the tasks required. I gave you a very high review just to help you to become a better person and to learn to open your heart.
