Beschreibung
Hello, my name is Irene and I have a Sanctuary, a non-profit organization, for senior dogs, dogs who are sick and need extra care, and dogs with a handicap (and also other animals). It all started in the Netherlands with one little dog. In her memory, I started the Sanctuary and now, after more than 6 years, we bought a beautiful place in Portugal where we will continue helping animals in need and giving them a forever home and family.

Be a part of helping the animals in need, making their environment better, creating new things for the animals, learn more about our Sanctuary, how to take care of handicapped and senior dogs, enriching their lives, and feel a deep connection with the animals and nature.
Arbeit
Are you someone who would love to help build our Sanctuary? You can contribute to the goal of providing the animals a beautiful place to live where they can be themselves, enjoy life fully, and have many beautiful adventures on the big land we have (around 25 acres).
The Sanctuary's new home is in Catrâo, near Vale de Prazeres (Central Portugal).
We're looking for people who truly love to be together with the animals and experience life together (without the need to train dogs or horses).
Besides helping with the animals, there is also help needed with:
- Gardening
- Creating a vegetable garden
- Fencing
- Painting
- Forest management
- Planting (fruit) trees
- DIY and building projects
- Project management
- Help with fundraising
The volunteer hours are around 2-3 hours a day (helping more during the day is always possible, often people like to help the Sanctuary more). This also means that you must take care of buying and preparing your own food, so this is not included. There is a separate kitchen area.
If you:
- would like to stay in peaceful nature for at least 3 weeks (a longer stay is even better if we have a good connection)
- don't need a lot of people around you (when you're looking for a community, can't stay alone or with just 2-3 people, for a longer time, then this isn't the place for you)
- have a calm energy
- love to help build the Sanctuary
- truly have a deep love for dogs, horses, and all other animals,
- wish to spend not only time with the animals but also with all the work involved with running a Sanctuary and taking care of its surroundings and all the land.
- would love to enjoy life together where both animals and humans can be themselves,
Then I’m looking forward to hearing from you 🙂
~ Irene
