    Descrição

    We are looking for the following types of volunteers to join us at our animal sanctuary on Kos from May 2024 onwards:
    - Hands-on animals volunteers
    - Vet nurse/ animal carer/ person experienced with animal care
    - Fundraiser
    - Permaculture expert, gardener and/or cook
    - Someone with experience of construction work/building

    Embedded in the wonderful countryside of the island of Kos lies our animal sanctuary, the mainstay of our charity work on this beautiful island. We are a small non-profit and non-governmental organization, established 15 years ago and primarily dedicated to the protection of animals. Our approach is to tackle problems at the root and act sustainably. We work in different areas, always with the aim of improving the conditions of animals (and humans) and creating long-term change. Our key areas include sterilization programmes for stray animals, rescue of and care for injured/sick animals, education and law enforcement.

    To do all this as efficiently as possible, we rely on volunteers. The animals in our care need to be attended to several times a day, enclosures need to be cleaned, animals have to be taken to the vet and back, stray animals need to be caught, the facilities must be maintained, and so on. The work is very varied and by no means boring. 😉 In this field of activity you need a lot of flexibility and spontaneity, as emergencies often throw all plans out of the window, but the work is highly rewarding. Every animal deserves attention and help. And just as important to us as the animals are people and the planet. We are all one, and if we treat everyone with compassion and respect, we bring a lot of positive energy into this world.

    For 2024 we need active support in different areas. Besides the hands-on work with animals (detailed below under 'Help'), we are looking for
    - A vet nurse/ animal carer/ person experienced in animal care – please contact us for more details.
    - A permaculture expert/ gardener/ passionate cook – please contact us for more details.
    - A fundraiser: assistance with fundraising is needed, as expenses for animal food, medicines, vehicles, general maintenance, etc. are covered only by the donations we receive. This means that we need volunteers who are keen to reach out to people, who enjoy talking to people and informing them about our work. You could even consider developing and implementing your own fundraising campaign – all efforts and ideas will be highly appreciated.

    Interested? If you have a manual driving licence, good English and some experience of animal welfare, please get in touch and let us know how you would like to help. We speak German, English and French.

    Volunteers from all over the world meet at our animal sanctuary. Through the shared work, living together, and the frequently emotional situations, many close friendships have already been formed. We support each other, no matter what situation each one of us is in. And we all can learn from each other in the time we spend together – cooking, baking, maybe even music, dancing, singing? – all your talents will be highly appreciated. Due to the nature of our work, we often interact with local people too.

    We are located in the countryside, a 20-minute walk from the village. However, we are off-site almost every day, which gives you ample opportunity to buy food etc. The beach is 10 minutes away by car or an hour’s walk. Whenever possible, we combine trips to save petrol, which means you can simply stop at the beach on your way back from off-site jobs and enjoy a siesta. There are plenty of attractions worth seeing on Kos, and we’ll be happy to tell you about all the secret places…..
