    Description

    We are a german non profit organisation taking care of injured or needing strays out of the streets of Antalya, Turkey. On an area of 10.000 m2 we give medical treatment, food and a safe space to about 150 dogs, 30 cats, 10 donkeys and 2 horses. You will find lots of things to do, to help our team with caring, cleaning and building - but your most important task will be giving and receaving love :) To help our animals to be prepared for a further social life, we are always in need of volonteers who keep our animals used to the human and its habbits. We are offering a one room guestapartment, including bathroom and small kitchen. You can use the main kitchen at any time and we invite you to join our morning ritual of taking breakfast all together. The station is located in Aksu, wich is in the backland of Antalya. The vibrant medeterranean metropolis is just a few miles away and nearby one finds all one needs for daily life. What could be better than cuddeling animals under palmtrees nearby the Aegean Sea and its beautiful beaches?! We look forward to meeting you !
