Help
We are an Animal Sanctuary located in Catalonia (Spain) looking for volunteers to help around in all the different tasks that we perform daily At the moment we have two different positions available
- General volunteering: for people interested in short stays. This experience entails helping with whatever needs the sanctuary might have, from house chores and cooking to building, cleaning the areas where the animals live or running errands. These volunteers will still be able to enjoy the benefits of living in the countryside surrounded by animals. Minimum stay is two weeks.
- Resident volunteers: for people interested in long stays. This experience entails working directly with the animals: preparing theirs foods and feeding them, curing and treating their ailments, being part of the team that covers all their needs. No experience needed, all training will be provided here. The position requires for candidates to speak Spanish and to be vegan/vegetarian. Minimum stay: strictly no shorter than 6 months.
