I unfortunately had to leave my stay with Sneha early due to some personal health issues but the team working here is filled with very lovely people who are very accommodating and caring for their volunteers. I wish I could have stayed for longer, my only recommendation for other travelers is to consider how the environmental differences of Nepal may affect you compared to wherever you are from.

I spent a month at the organization and honestly didn't want to leave. The dogs are amazing. The family who live at the organization full time are so sweet and great with the dogs and the volunteers. The doctors are nice and work with dogs. There is a good amount of cleaning to do, but you do get to spend a good amount of time cuddling/walking/bathing the dogs as well. I miss these dogs more than anything.
