Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
You can learn a lot about the correct approach to animals and their behavior, on various veterinary aspects especially in the management of chronic diseases. In addition to being a very pretty town, Santa Teresa is an excellent base for exploring all of northern Gallura, ranging from the surf of Porto Pollo to the liveliness of rena Majore to the Limbara mountains in Tempio Pausania, to the countryside with the typical Gallura stazzi and the their tranquility ... in the summer season people from all over the world meet but even in August you can find a quiet place to enjoy the beauty of these places.
Si può imparare molto sul corretto approccio agli animali e sul loro comportamento, su vari aspetti veterinari sopratutto nella gestione delle malattie croniche.
Santa Teresa oltre ad essere un paese molto grazioso è un ottimo punto di appoggio per esplorare tutto il nord Gallura, spaziando dal surf di Porto Pollo alla vivacità di rena Majore ai monti del Limbara a Tempio Pausania, alle campagne con i tipici stazzi galluresi e la loro tranquillità… nella stagione estiva si incontrano persone di tutto il mondo ma anche a ferragosto si può trovare un posticino tranquillo per godere della bellezza di questi luoghi.

*WE HOST ONLY VOLUNTEERS TRAVELING WITH OWN CAR/ MOTORBIKE/BIKE*
We need a hand with the cleaning of our living spaces, so we are looking for people who are completely comfortable with dogs and cats, without fear of relating to them. People also available for ordinary and extraordinary maintenance work: cutting grass, repairing fences, painting houses for dogs and cats, small carpentry tasks, etc., the more skills you have, the more precious you are! We offer accommodation in a mobilhouse inside the refuge with its own garden, bathroom and kitchenette, but we are not able to provide food so we ask 15 hours/ week.
Preferable workawayers without pets, otherwise to be evaluated. It is preferable to have a car as we are outside the city and there are no public transport stops nearby. The sea is enchanting 😁

È stato un vero piacere conoscerla e ci ha dato un grande aiuto, le auguriamo tutto il meglio per la sua vita e speriamo di poterla ospitare nuovamente.😊
Settimana intensa in senso più che positivo: ho avuto modo di conoscere il team (allargato) dell'Arca Sarda, persone speciali, simpatiche, gentilissime e disponibili.
