This was my first bad experience with Workaway. Very unfortunate
The entire house was very dirty, dog mess everywhere at the floor. Kitchen and Bathroom so disgusting. There was practically no hygiene. Water just didn't worked sometimes. Wash Machine was broken. Communication was difficult, initially very nice to us in the beginning, but at the… read more

I had a great time with Fausto and Alega!! They are a very kind and welcomed me into their home. They would cook dinner for us every day and the food was excellent :). You will be cleaning cages, feeding dogs, chopping wood for the fire in the evening and if you’re lucky caring for a bunch of adorable puppies.
I came here with little knowledge of… read more

We had a lovely stay at the host, Fausto and Ale were very accommodating despite the slight language barrier and obviously the dogs were the highlight. The dogs are very loving and we witnessed a few new comers arrive throughout which felt special. During our stay we helped at a fundraiser in Ambato which was good fun and the work was very simple… read more

All of the dogs are so cute and loving, they just want attention. The work involves cleaning the house and cleaning the dogs cages. The dog rescue is located on a lovely area of land with nice hiking trails. We miss the dogs already.

I spent 2 weeks at this wonderful animal shelter in August. It was a truly unforgettable experience. I fell in love with the dogs and the mountains there. It’s a bit far from the closest town but it’s the perfect opportunity to be immersed in nature. The work was never too hard or for two many hours and there was lots of time to explore the… read more

Merci de nous avoir accueilli comme si nous faisions partie de votre famille. Notre travail était très intéressant et utile au refuge. Nous avons beaucoup appris. Le bien être animal est primordial. Le travail de papa Fausto impose le respect, c'est un passionné.

If you are thinking about doing this, DO IT. I spent over a month with Fausto and Aleja and loved every minute of it. Waking up every morning to the stunning view of Cotopaxi and my favorite dogs popping their heads in my window is something I miss dearly.

The work consists of feeding the dogs (if you are grossed out by organ meat you might have… read more

Wow did I have a great experience at this Workaway! I stayed for 2 weeks and would have stayed longer if my visa in Ecuador wasn't expiring. My favorite thing was the people and culture on the ranch. Everyone was welcoming and I truly feel like I made some lifelong friends there. We went for hikes in the afternoon, hung out in the evenings by the… read more

I stayed for almost three weeks here and had a really good time!

The work was consisting mostly of feeding, cleaning and cuddling doggos. Sometimes there was some weed to whack, a roof to build or the pump to fix. All in all, basic physical work which made me appreciate the relaxation by the fireplace in the evenings.
I definitely had enough… read more

I had incredible 10 days at the Dog Sanctuary. I only planned to stay a week and really wanted to stay longer but I had a flight to catch.

I really had a great time, there were always other fun volunteers around and Fausto and Aleja are super kind. You can definitely practice your Spanish and are definitely gonna have a great time of you like… read more

I spent about a month here and only wish it could have been longer! If you have the opportunity to get to know Santiago and/or Fausto, you will consider yourself very lucky. They are awesome people, I can't imagine anyone better to make you feel at home and taken care of in Ecuador. Good people, good dogs, and hard work that you can be proud of.… read more

I spent a month with Fausto, Fausto Senior and Aleja alongside 5 volunteers at different times and it was fantastic!!

Firstly, if you like dogs then this is the place for you. When I arrived I was greeted by 30 barking dogs jumping all over me and I realised this place was a bit crazy! Over time you get to know all the dogs, play with them, feed… read more

Stayed here for a month my friend Jess, and it was an absolutely AMAZING experience. The views from the property are absolutely enchanting: the view of the Illinizas rising from a sea of clouds bathed in gold during sunset never failed to take my breath away. Victor, Mayra, and Santiago were all so incredibly kind and accommodating (and… read more
