We have over 1000 animals including cats; dogs; horses; geese; ducks; goats; sheep and hens; as well as the local wildlife of the cloud forest where we are located. Most importantly; we need volunteers to help take care of our dogs and cats. Tasks include dog walking; washing dogs; special care for sick/disabled dogs; cleaning the catteries; changing their litter; etc. You must not be afraid to pick up poop! Volunteers work for 8 hours each day; 6 days in a week. In exchange they will get a place to stay in the staff dormitory; 3 meals a day and free use of laundry. Our place is animal protected zone and the restaurant that we have is only vegetarian or vegan.
We offer the opportunity to volunteer in a beautiful location; surrounded by lush cloud forest; not too far Volcano Arenal and La Fortuna. We do not accommodate couples or families.
