I had a lovely time volunteering with the dogs Tobi, Peluchin, Nai Nai, and the cat Faro. The volunteer work was very minimum, and didn't feel like work half the time because I loved spending time with the animals! Lobitos is a perfect place to learn surf, meet creative people, and spend your days slowly. Unplugging in Lobitos was just what I needed, but make sure you're ready for no wifi, bucket showers, and desert dust! For me, I enjoyed learning a new culture that's much different from my home and disconnecting from my old busy lifestyle. Highly recommend, such a unique experience! โค๏ธ

My experience at โ€œthe organizationโ€ was great! The tasks were quite simple: feeding and walking the dogs twice a day and cleaning the garden, which left me with plenty of free time. At the time I was there, there were three dogs and one cat who were extremely affectionate and calm. Pia is a really nice person and does what is necessary to make everyone feel comfortable within her means. The house needs some repairs; my shower wasn't working, so I had to take a bucket bath. There is also no internet at the facilities, but that did not affect my experience.
