We are a dedicated animal sanctuary run entirely by full-time volunteers. As a non-profit organisation, we rely on donations to sustain our mission of rescuing and caring for animals. While every contribution directly supports the animals, we ask volunteers for a contribution to cover their own food and supplies during their stay. This helps us keep our resources focused on giving the animals the love and care they deserve.

My first volunteering experience and it has been a life changing one. I am immensely grateful to Chiara, Sharna and Ale for everything that they're doing. They were so welcoming and genuine towards all volunteers, shared dinners truly felt like family gatherings. What they are doing for animals is above and beyond, rescuing and providing a happy home is their priority and passion. The love and care that they have is so inspiring and fills me with hope. I will definitely be coming back and can't wait to see how happy the animals will be at the new land ❤️ Thank you for the wonderful 5 weeks!

This was my first time volunteering and I'm so grateful that I got to do it here. From the moment I arrived, I felt so welcomed and comfortable. Chiara, Sharna and Ale are the most incredible hosts. What they do for the animals is truly inspiring. You get into the routine super fast. About 2 hours of work in the morning and 2 in the afternoon, with plenty of free time in between. Dinners were provided and groceries were supplied for us to make breakfast and lunch. I miss it so much already!! (please give kaju a cuddle from me)

Take the experience! the shelter can be demanding, looking after all the beautiful animals that Chiara, Sharna Alejandro run but that's the cost of looking after the animals who needed rescuing from the abusive systems we have in our society, the beauties now deserve all the care and fresh veggies and protein they get and our help. Everything on worldpacker page was as described and everything communicated and schedules given to make it easier. Mamma makes yummy Italian dinners! Chiara was very understanding when plans changed my side to help accommodate and help with my allergies <3
