Description
We are 3 people team living in Arambol North Goa, taking care of around 50 dogs, in a total private way. I rent a big 1500 sqm compound in the jungle, at about 4-5 kms from the beach.
From now on we are searching for volunteers who can preferably stay one or two months at least. Nice wooden cottage with private bathroom, cupboard, fridge and balcony at disposal (1-2 pax). Open common kitchen with fridge, gas stove and sink at disposal. Laundry with washing machine available 1x a week.
In May, i will leave India for at least 2 months while my staff will stay in my house and take care of the dogs.
We need help in various tasks, mainly in preparing food, feeding our dogs, around the village and on the streets, cleaning the house, washing dogs etc.
Your fixed tasks can be discussed in the beginning that you have anyway enough time to explore and enjoy the area.
IMPORTANT:
- Driving license (for scooter) is required as we are feedings lots of dogs on the streets every day which will be part of your work as well
- be flexible, we cannot fix working hours as our work depends on a lot of things but we make sure that you have enough free time during the day and evenings after feeding are always free as well.
