Description
We are a smallholding looking after rescue dogs and a couple of horses. We need some help painting the house and general maintenance around the property. Must be an animal lover and be prepared to help walk dogs and feed horses if need be. Loule is a pretty historical market town 20 mins from Faro airport. We live just 5 mins from the town in the countryside, there is a yoga retreat 500meters away and lots of bars and cafes close by. The volunteer would be expected to work mornings on whatever needs to be done,e.g. gardening, painting etc, leaving the afternoon free, with maybe a couple more hours in the evening. Full use of the swimming pool and sun area available for relaxing in the heat.
