Hi,
my name is Teresa.
I am a retired teacher from Portugal.
I always had a big heart for animals, especially dogs. So I started saving them.
Unfortunately, in Portugal animal welfare is not that spread yet as it should be. So there are many dogs homeless, badly treated, in kennels or at the killing stations. I try to rescue as many dogs as possible and give them a better life. All of my dogs are listed for adoption, so that they hopefully can become a member of a new loving family.
Until then I give them shelter on my huge farm, food, medical treatment and everything else what is needed for a dog to have a good life.
Right now I have about 450 dogs and also about 20 cats.
The cats have a separated place, so that the dogs cannot bother them.
Since its a lot of work, a helping hand is always welcome on the farm as there is always something to do :)

Of course you´ll learn a lot of the behavior of a pack of dogs. How they communicate and treat each other. Beside that you´ll get the chance to get to know the nature of Portugal with all it´s cork trees and wildlife. The farm is located away from tourism spots, so you´ll be surrounded by the pure nature of Portugal but the next bigger city is just 30 minutes bus ride away.
Ayuda
The main tasks at the farm are cleaning, feeding, and sometimes repairing things, for example fences or wooden houses. During the summer it can get very hot and in the winter very wet, so appropriate clothing is a musthave. But you must know, that the dogs can be a bit wild from time to time, so it would be better to wear at least long trousers to avoid scratches. The enclosures have an in- and outside area which both need to be cleaned, but the inside area also needs to be scrubbed with water every now and then.
Please make sure that you're in good health condition. The work is physically and mentally hard. Also we recommend to check your Tetanus status.
Besides that the dogs are more than thankful for every cuddle time they can get :)
Idiomas hablados
Inglés: Fluido
Portugués: Fluido
Alojamiento
You´ll have your own little apartment directly on the farm. With a private bed room, living room, kitchen and bathroom. You might share it with other volunteers, but the bedrooms are separated.
The apartment is in the middle of the dogs places. So it can get loud here and there. You might better bring earplugs for the night ;)
I will also provide a bicycle and a helmet, so you can get independently to the next village in a few minutes. During season you can have a taste of local fruits which are growing on the farm, apples, pears, grapes, limes, pomegranate, nesperas and and and. Besides that I unfortunately cannot provide the meals. But you can get them for a low price in the next village.
Algo más...
Next to the farm is a small village where you can get everything necessary. The next bigger city is Setubal, about 30 minutes bus ride away. Also you can reach our beautiful capital of Portugal, Lisbon, in about 1,5 hours with public transportation, which is well connected, or 45 minutes by car.
Besides that you must be aware that here are no attractions surounded. The farm is located in the pure wildlife so if you feel lonely fast, think twice if you really wanna come here.

I had the privilege of volunteering at Teresa's dog shelter in Portugal for 8 days, and it was nothing short of life-changing. At 72 years old, Teresa is a beacon of knowledge, compassion, and resilience. Her dedication to these dogs is awe-inspiring, and her big-hearted nature radiates warmth to everyone around her.

Luisa has been so wonderful. With her experiences and her big knowledge about animals she was such an awesome help. We couldn't be more thankful.
She didn't bother any kind of work and also helped perfectly with medical treatments.
Thank you so much Luisa. We wish you all the best and a great journey.

Teresa is one of the most amazing women I've ever come across. Day in and day out she works to keep these dogs happy and to ensure that they all find a forever home and she does so with such admirable passion and love. I spent three weeks volunteering at the shelter and its an experience I'll never forget. Of course the work for nearly 400 dogs… read more

Fiona and Felix have been two of the best volunteers we've ever had. They didn't mind any kind of work and even ask what else they could do. They were so lovely with the dogs and took care of them so well. With the great work of Fiona making videos of the dogs, we were able to find more new homes for them than before. Thank you so much for all… read more

I really enjoyed my time at the dog shelter. Teresa and Debora are doing amazing work here and there is always something to do with so many dogs: You can help with cleaning, feeding, fixing stuff or just give some love to the dogs and play with them. Thank you Teresa, Debora and Joana for giving me the opportunity to get a glimpse how much passion… read more

We spent two weeks with Teresa and the dogs, and it was a challenge and a delight every day. Teresa's passion for these dogs is contagious, you can't help falling in love (with all 350 of them).
