I had a really special and memorable time at the farm. The first days can be overwhelming as you're thrown into the chores, but you quickly get used to it. We shared rooms with dogs which were absolutely adorable, but that comes with 24h responsibility, which made it harder to fully switch off and relax. I loved all the animals, especially learning about horses and the staff did a great job giving us opportunities to learn. Sadly, during my stay we couldn't walk the kennel dogs or go on trail rides. I met so many great people and animals and am really happy I got to have this experience.

Absolutely magical experience. I couldn't recommend it more. My partner and I stayed for two weeks and found it so hard to leave. The team is welcoming and friendly and understanding. The work is rewarding and so doable, leaving you mountains of time to relax and explore. The animals are little angels, and you really feel the connection and love that radiates through this farm. If you have a chance… go to the shelter!!!!!!

The shelter is such a special place and I cannot recommend it enough! I spent 3 amazing weeks here and i had so much fun. Work is only a couple of hours a day and is very flexible , and there is someone always around to help. The staff and other volunteers are so welcoming and kind , this place really feels like a home away from home 🤍

Hftds was an amazing place with wonderful people and animals. The owner Nikki and all the staff members are so available and welcoming that I immediately felt at home. The hours and chores are respected and can be modified based on your needs. I also met so many amazing volunteers. The animals are all so cute and cuddly, I would recommend this experience to anyone that loves animals and wants to spend time immersed in nature.
