My first volunteering experience was at this place. It is a very quiet place and I felt comfortable, part of the family. The little animals are all very cute and need a lot of love; each of them has a story that really touches the heart. Peluchina, Remi, Negra and the kittens always visited my room… actually, most. The tasks are to tidy the home, bathe the animals, feed them and brush them.. in addition to giving them all the affection Carlos and Beatriz are very lovely people. It was wonderful to be part of their home. Thanks to both of you for everything! A lovely and very enriching experience. ❤️

Had a great stay at Peluchina House. Beatriz and Carlos welcomed me with open arms and made me feel at home. I was the first volunteer and I really enjoyed taking care of the animals and getting to know their beautiful project, dedicated to rescuing, caring for, and raising awareness about the importance of helping animals.
The tasks are simple and pleasant, helping around the house and feeding the little animals. Each one has its story, some mistreated, others abandoned; they need a lot of love and affection. 💕Moreover, the food is delicious (especially Colombian chocolate) 😋
I would highly recommend it 100% 💯"},
