An authentic cultural experience changing lives every day at our animal sanctuary near Khon Kaen, Thailand

  Description

  We are a registered animal welfare charity in North Eastern Thailand, giving sanctuary to 430+ abused, abandoned, injured & disabled dogs & 90 cats - many of them rescued from the horrific dog meat trade on our borders.
  
  Often taking in the 'unwanted' cases, we take pride in giving all our animals a chance at a better life, even if they might be a bit broken - as such a fair number of our furry family are 'special needs' animals (eg. blind, disabled).
  
  Our facilities include a small veterinary clinic from where we provide basic care and perform small surgeries, as well as a rehabilitation pool for exercising our disabled residents.
  
  As our dearest wish is that these animals get to live life in a forever home, we actively seek and facilitate local & international adoptions.

  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  Experience 'real' Thai culture, fully immersed in rural Thailand.
  
  Situated 45km outside the city of Khon Kaen in the Isaan region of Thailand, our sanctuary is surrounded by wide open rice fields and farms with lingering mountains in the distance - our location makes for living close to nature in a peaceful setting (with spectacular sunsets!), the way that rural Thai communities do.
  Seeing as 95% of our staff are Thai, you are sure to pick up a few Thai words and phrases too.
  
  For a uniquely authentic experience, venture off the beaten tracks of Thailand, join our team and share our world - it will be one you'll never forget!

  Aide

  We are fiercely dedicated to helping as many animals as possible, but with very limited resources at hand our mission faces very challenges times - we need all the help we can get!
  
  Our ideal volunteer is a passionate, hardworking, motivated and mature (regardless of age) animal enthusiast - someone who is committed, proactive and independent, willing to roll up their sleeves and do what needs to be done, and ready to brave difficult situations - helping at our sanctuary can be emotionally challenging.
  
  We host people from all walks of life - if you can show love to our animals, you are welcome!
  Socialization is one of our biggest needs, so a working knowledge or experience in dog training/behavior and animal handling (eg. moving disabled dogs in & out of wheelchairs, hydrotherapy, enrichment practices, etc.) would be valued bonus. Other ways in which we'd appreciate a helping hand are also things like handyman tasks/ building maintenance, general admin tasks such as maintaining our animal shelter database.
  
  We are also always on the lookout for photographers and/or videographers to carry & promote our message to the world.
  
  We would love for you to join our team and meet our furry friends - you are sure to lose your heart!

  en savoir plus

  Pourquoi workaway.info autorise-t-il certains hôtes à faire payer des frais ?

  Dans les pays en voie de développement (où la plupart des hôtes sont engagés dans des associations caritatives ou des programmes de développement au service de la communauté locale), certains de nos hôtes peuvent demander aux workawayers de faire un petit don pour aider la famille d'accueil ou l’association (souvent moins de 5 dollars par jour). Workaway n'autorise cette demande de don que si le don va directement à la famille ou à l'association et s'il ne sert qu’à couvrir les frais de séjour des volontaires. (Les annonces où l’hôte demande des frais seront clairement identifiées dans la liste d'annonces).
  Nous n'autorisons en aucun cas les annonces d'agences, d’intermédiaires ou de projets qui nous semblent vouloir profiter des volontaires.
