STOP PRESS!!!! We are now recruiting for 2023 and are looking for volunteers from FEBRUARY onwards.
Looking for peace and quiet and spending time in the countryside? Do you have experience of and enjoy working with dogs and cats? Are garden work and house maintenance something you really like to do? Then you are just the person we are looking for!
We need help at our animal shelter on the Greek island of Kos. Completely secluded in the midst of beautiful scenery, it is a small paradise where animals in need receive temporary care and accommodation. We have been active there for 15 years, and continue to work to reduce and relieve animal suffering.
In order to keep everything going, we need active help. This includes not only working with the animals, but also maintenance of the facility. Grass has to be cut, wood has to be chopped, fences have to be kept in good shape, and much more. Board and lodging will be provided.
Interested? If you have a manual driving licence, good English and some experience of animal welfare, please get in touch.
