I stayed with Maurice at the rescue for two weeks. I was supposed to be staying for a month, but had to leave early due to my boyfriend not being in good health. I would say there were several positives about this Workaway, but also some negatives.

I met some amazing people and animals while I was there. The volunteers are all lovely and… read more welcoming, especially Marian, Marie and Jane. I got on well with everyone and will miss you all! The variety of animals there is great. I fell in love with all of the dogs. The rescue has 13 different species and over 90 animals, so it was great to get the chance to work with and learn about different species. It is truly amazing how dedicated the volunteers are to caring for and finding homes for the animals. I'm glad that I got to be there for the Family Fun Day, as it was a great success and I was able to meet everyone. I enjoyed helping Maurice get ready for it, especially the painting.

My days started mostly at 10am. The mornings would involve feeding the animals and cleaning the pens. In the afternoon, I would mostly walk the dogs, which was very enjoyable. I finished around 5-7pm after dinner time. I generally enjoyed the work at the rescue. Kevin, the main volunteer, was always happy to answer my questions and tell me what needed doing. On a few occasions, Maurice took me with him to rescue or pick up an animal. I am grateful for that as it helped me to learn what is required when working in this industry.

Maurice made sure I had enough food and took me to the cinema, which I appreciated. My room was cosy and comfortable. You'll be fine staying in his house if you don't mind a bit of untidiness.

There are some negatives about this trip, which I will mention because I think other Workaways should know. Maurice really cares about the animals and works so hard. However, I found that he can lose his temper on occasions and will take it out on those around him. I feel that he should value his volunteers more as everyone works so hard. Secondly, I had to make my own way to the airport, which was very expensive, but I had no other alternative. Thirdly, this page says Workaways will work 5 hours a day, 5 days a week and be able to use a car. However, I was working 7-8 hours a day with no days off, and I didn't have the use of a car. I didn't mind working the longer hours, but it isn't what this page says. Overall I had a good time, but there were some negatives that should be considered if you are going to stay.

Working with Maurice and the other volunteers (Kevin, Declan and Eileen) was such an incredible experience. I quit my job for this and it was definitely worth it, the doggos are in such good care and it was amazing to see how everything worked.

I fell in love with all the dogs and miss them dearly! So much so that I want to come back! It was… read more

Wow, what can I say, working with Maurice and the other volunteers was a definitely unique (and wonderful) experience. This place is tucked away in the north of Co. Kerry, it offers up some breathtaking views which will be seen on the route the dogs are walked on. Working with the dogs was a 24/7 job, sadly not leaving too much time to go see many… read more
