  Description

  We are a small private rescue dog sanctuary and park for dogs who couldn’t make it alone on the streets. It’s full of love and happy faces from furry friends of all shapes and sizes waiting to be loved.
  We also have an animal welfare organisation VetVan Thailand and veterinary clinics and run weekly mass spay clinics to help thousands of stray dogs each year. We’re on a mission to spay!
  
  I’m Jazmin, founder of the company, who works on a permanent mission to spay/neuter stray dogs and cats to reduce the stray population and prevent suffering. I rescue those in dire need and run an adoption program to find as many furry friends as possible, their forever homes. I’d love some help to give extra love and care to my many wonderful rescue pups. I’ve built a sanctuary for animal and nature lovers to come and enjoy a rescue dog care experience. Our dogs are loving and bring so much joy to all our guests, each with their own unique rescue story and personalities 🐾

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  Muttlands hosts up to 9 volunteers at a time, dog lovers from all around the world. We have live in Thai staff, local helpers and a manager who speaks English and Thai. You'll be able to see the traditional local way of living in rural Rayong. Most activities in the area are based around nature and culture. There is lots of beauty and doggies to see, experiences to share with other travelers. We are not in a tourist hotspot and everyone should be coming to Muttlands to emerge themselves in nature and dogs 🐾 🍃 Get out and explore beaches, jungles or take days/night out at the local bars, restaurants or go on nature adventures, even a trip to Samet island is possible 😊

  We are in countryside Thailand surrounded by beautiful fruit farms, fisherman villages and beaches. There is delicious local foods at the markets and local restaurants although you’ll need to travel a little to get there. We have bicycles available for you to use or you can rent your own transport. On your day off you can visit the Botanic Garden, go explore the mountains or even take a day trip to an island as the pier to Koh Samet is just 20 min away and you can easily get to the tourist island, its beautiful beaches and water sports. We have a volunteer on Samet whose beach resort you could stay and rest at if you didn’t feel comfortable going completely alone. We also have taxis we can help you to book and local tours that can be arranged.

  Why does Workaway allow some hosts to charge a fee?

  
  

  Workaway provides opportunities for non-monetary cultural exchanges where hosts provide food and accommodation in return for help from Workawayers. In some exceptional cases, a small fee/ donation request (typically no more than 5 dollars per day) may be approved for hosts such as registered charities with a history of positive volunteer feedback. Any fee must directly go to the charity and can only be used to cover the volunteers' food costs. This will be clearly marked on the host's listing.
  

  Listings by agents, "middle-men" or projects that appear to profit from a volunteer's stay are strictly prohibited. Any fees must be discussed and approved in advance by the Workaway team.

  8 EUR/300 baht per day to cover the cost of food
