Vom Workawayer (Marie & Alexandre) für Host (Help with dogs and cats at a ...)

Thank you very much for this great comment, it's really adorable and it means a lot to us!

We tried to do the best we could to help Monica and all those poor abandoned dogs. It was a very good and emotional experience! We would have liked to do even more than that... There are so many dogs on the streets in Romania, so many sociable and kind… read more

vom Host (Help with dogs and cats at a ...) für Workawayer (Marie & Alexandre)

Marie and Alex were two of the best volunteers Monica has ever had. They were superb with the dogs and set up new procedures to help the dogs socialise and become more adoptable. They allowed all of the dogs in turn to run free twice daily. They took dogs on walks with their own dog, Nacho. This got some of my dogs used to walking on a leash.… read more Nacho lived in the house with Marie and Alex which was no problem. Nacho was a very good dog.

Marie and Alex extended their stay three times and ended staying for over two months. The second time that Marie and Alex extended their stay was due to a volunteer unexpectedly leaving and it was at the expense of significantly shortening their planned holiday. Without exception every adult dog became more sociable than prior to Marie and Alex's visit. They extended their stay a second time because Monica's family were visiting for the first time in 6 years and Monica needed somebody who she could trust to run the animal shelter in her absence. Marie and Alex were perfect for the role and stepped up to this responsibility.

Alex spoke English excellently so could communicate with Dawn in the UK and who is the volunteer coordinator. They had an excellent line of communication so Dawn knew of any volunteer concerns or issues which Monica had.

Marie and Alex trained the new volunteers who came to the animal shelter and passed on their invaluable experience. They were both proper animal rescuers. Often they would return with abandoned puppies which they could not ignore on their travels. Their compassion to animals was second to none.

They also kept the main house which accommodates the volunteers spotless and cleaned once or twice per day. It was necessary for them to sometime house scared dogs and recently abandoned puppies in the main house overnight until a solution could be found for where they could be placed. Monica's shelter is full but yet puppies and dogs are still abandoned with her. This is the reason a 4/5 was given for house rules being followed. Monica insists that dogs and puppies must not be housed in the main house apart from volunteers' pet dogs such as Nacho. However, this was unavoidable due to the number of stray and abandoned puppies in the village where Monica lives. However, they more than made up for this by making sure everything was kept spotless and all of the house chores were done in Monica's absence.

I would 100% recommend Marie and Alex to run an animal shelter and help to care for dogs and puppies. They are incredibly compassionate and lovely people. They both communicated with Monica. Monica appreciated this and Alex recognised that it was important to communicate with Monica at the start and throughout the day. They had a mutual respect of each other. You are always welcome to volunteer at Monica's Animal Shelter.

They will also promote Monica's animals in France to try to find adopters for them. I hope they will continue with this by following Monica's instagram and TikTok accounts.

Dawn in the UK, the volunteer coordinator, also cannot thank them enough for extending their stay three times. The first time helped to provide consistency for the animals and the other incoming volunteers. The second time, it was imperative that they stayed as it meant Monica could leave to see her daughter and new grand-daughter which she had never met. All of Monica's family lives in Northern America. Marie and Alex worked exceptionally well with the other volunteers and have set up practices which I hope will continue with the current volunteers who have never met Marie and Alex. A HUGE THANK YOU. Merci beaucoup avec bises. From Monica, Dawn, the animals and the other volunteers.
