We are a large animal rescue in County Kildare who always need willing helpers. There’s a very good bus service to Dublin and other parts of the country if you want to explore on your days off. The rescue is very busy, everyday we clean stables, yards and feed animals, we regularly have emergencies to attend and new animals arriving, vet visits and sometimes have to deal with severe cases of neglect.

Even though I spent a short time at the rescue I had a really lovely experience. There were lots of volunteers at a time but everyone was caring and dedicated to the animals and their work, and it was rewarding to be able to help out and spend time with them. It's clear how much love and compassion goes into caring for the animals and I'm grateful for the experience and would recommend it to anyone.

There were always ~10-20 volunteers at a time, but everyone is so kind and welcoming that it felt like a second home. The volunteer work was simple, the hours were 90% stuck to. There was some variety in tasks, and if you preferred a station (caring for horses, walking dogs, cleaning the house), they would usually try to station you there. Each day is a different station, but the work was always fun and rewarding! I met the best people there, and if you love dogs, they've got loads to cuddle with during outside hours 🫶 I've had the best laughters, friendships, and sleep! Will 100% recommend!!

Was truly incredible, one of those experiences that mark you for life, the warm vibe, the fun and company of the other volunteers is magical. The managers are always aware of the group and to help you if you need anything. Here I made friends that I will carry the rest of my life in my heart. The work is fun, different every day and totally satisfied at the end of the day. Everything is very well organized. I world definitely like to return to the beloved farm one day. The animals are so funny and special. The work that the farm does it's beautiful the take care and love the animals very much

Staying at the shelter was a truly great and enlightening experience. Personally I loved working with the animals (they are all very cute!), though basic safety and awerness of your surroundings is a must. The only thing about the work that may not go as exactly as it written are the work hours which can quite often be a bit longer depending on the workload of the day, but personally I think it is doable. The tasks also vary depending on what is needed. I also met a lot of cool people from all over and it was great getting to know all of them and sharing fun at the farm.
