Descrição
❤️ Does your heart beat for animal welfare?
Have you always wanted to actively help animals and make a difference for those who have no one else?
Are you a dog or cat person?
Do you have to pet every dog you see because you simply can't walk past?
Are you crazy about animals and don't mind dog hair and paw prints all over your clothes?
Would you choose the peace and quiet of nature over a loud club?
Would you rather walk a dog than go shopping?
A purring cat on your lap rather than sitting in a café for hours?
The great outdoors rather than a big city?
And dinner with dogs rather than a beer in the pub?
Then keep reading – you might be exactly the person we are looking for. 🐾❤️
And now a few serious questions – unfortunately based on our past experiences:
Are you able to work for 3.5 hours without a break?
Do you understand that working with so many animals means picking up dog poo, cleaning cat litter trays,
having animal hair everywhere, taking out the rubbish and helping with gardening?
Can you have breakfast before work?
Can you start work at 8:30 in the morning?
Can you clean up after yourself?
Can you cook for yourself?
And do you understand that animal welfare is work?
It is not just walks, cuddles and playing with animals. There is cleaning, animal hair, cat litter, dog poo, gardening and routine work. Sometimes a sick or injured dog arrives and the whole day suddenly changes.
That's part of animal rescue.
🐕 We are an animal sanctuary – not a regular shelter
We are a small animal sanctuary in the Peloponnese, about 30 minutes from Kalamata. Surrounded by green hills and olive trees, we currently have 29 dogs and 20 cats living with us.
All of our animals are former strays. Many are old, sick, injured or disabled. Animals that were abandoned or simply would not have a chance without help.
They are our family and stay with us for the rest of their lives.
We are also actively involved in animal welfare and are a foster home for our district. We regularly take in injured and sick stray dogs. Sometimes we receive a call in the morning and have a new emergency with us only a few hours later. Then we have to quickly organize a safe place, food, a vet, medication and whatever else the dog needs.
In addition, three times a week we help look after a small cat shelter with around 50 cats.
Animal welfare is not a hobby we do on the side. It is our everyday life.
🐶 Our dogs live in packs
Our dogs live together in packs, not in kennels. This is more natural for the dogs, but it also means more work and responsibility for us.
You will learn a lot about dog language, body language, behaviour and pack dynamics.
🌿 We live simply
We live on a farm in Greece and we do not have the same standards you may be used to at home.
Our lifestyle is simple and dedicated to the animals. The animals come first.
We do our best to make your stay comfortable, but it will not be the same as being at home. You are not coming to a hotel or holiday accommodation. You are coming to our home and our sanctuary.
We live in the middle of nature. Yes, there are insects. Yes, there are spiders. You may even find one in your tent. 😉 And when the Greek summer is hot, it is hot. When it rains, it is wet.
That's Greece.
🌊 Your free time is your own
Despite all of this, there is plenty of time for yourself. The working hours are clearly defined – after that, your time is your own.
You can relax, read, go to the beach or explore the area. The sea is about 15 minutes away, Olympia around an hour and Athens about 2.5 hours.
👋 Who are we looking for?
We generally prefer Workawayers aged 25 and over. If you are younger and genuinely think you would be a good fit, let us know.
40+ Workawayers are very welcome! 💖
The work is not particularly physically demanding. What we need are reliable, independent people who genuinely love animals and understand that animal welfare is not just about the nice moments.
You should be comfortable with simple living conditions and understand:
This is all about the animals.
If you don't just want to cuddle animals but genuinely want to help, and are ready to become part of our life for a while, then you may be exactly the person we are looking for. ❤️🐾
❤️ Dein Herz schlägt für den Tierschutz?
Wolltest du schon immer aktiv im Tierschutz sein und denen helfen, die sonst niemanden haben?
Bist du ein Hund- oder Katzenmensch?
Du streichelst jeden Hund, den du siehst, und bist richtig verrückt nach Tieren?
Hundehaare und Tatzenabdrücke auf deiner Kleidung stören dich nicht?
Ziehst du die Ruhe der Natur einem lauten Club vor?
Lieber mit einem Hund spazieren gehen als shoppen?
Lieber eine schnurrende Katze auf dem Schoß als stundenlang im Café sitzen?
Lieber draußen in der Natur als in der Großstadt?
Lieber Abendessen mit Hunden als Bier in der Kneipe?
Dann lies weiter – vielleicht bist du genau der Mensch, den wir suchen. 🐾❤️
Und nun ein paar ernste Fragen – leider aufgrund unserer bisherigen Erfahrungen:
Bist du in der Lage, 3,5 Stunden ohne Pause zu arbeiten?
Ist dir bewusst, dass die Arbeit mit so vielen Tieren bedeutet, Hundekot aufzusammeln,
Katzentoiletten zu reinigen, Tierhaare überall zu haben, Müll wegzubringen und im Garten mitzuhelfen?
Kannst du vor der Arbeit frühstücken?
Kannst du morgens um 8:30 Uhr mit der Arbeit beginnen?
Kannst du hinter dir selbst aufräumen?
Kannst du für dich selbst kochen?
Und verstehst du, dass Tierschutz Arbeit bedeutet?
Es geht nicht nur um Spaziergänge, Kuscheln und Spielen. Es gibt auch Putzen, Tierhaare, Katzentoiletten, Hundekot, Gartenarbeit und Routine. Manchmal kommt ein kranker oder verletzter Hund, und plötzlich ist alles anders.
Das gehört bei uns dazu.
🐕 Wir sind ein Gnadenhof – kein normales Tierheim
Wir sind ein kleiner Gnadenhof auf dem Peloponnes, etwa 30 Minuten von Kalamata entfernt. Umgeben von grünen Hügeln und Olivenbäumen leben derzeit 19 Hunde und 20 Katzen bei uns.
Alle unsere Tiere sind ehemalige Streuner. Viele sind alt, krank, verletzt oder behindert. Tiere, die ausgesetzt wurden oder ohne Hilfe keine Chance hätten.
Sie sind unsere Familie und bleiben bei uns bis zu ihrem Lebensende.
Wir sind außerdem aktiv im Tierschutz und Pflegestelle für unseren Bezirk. Immer wieder nehmen wir verletzte oder kranke Streunerhunde auf. Manchmal bekommen wir morgens einen Anruf und wenige Stunden später ist ein neuer Notfall bei uns. Dann müssen wir schnell einen Platz, Futter, Tierarzt, Medikamente und alles Weitere organisieren.
Zusätzlich helfen wir dreimal pro Woche bei der Betreuung eines Katzenshelters mit rund 50 Katzen.
Unser Tierschutz ist kein Hobby nebenbei. Er bestimmt unseren Alltag.
🐶 Unsere Hunde leben in Rudeln
Unsere Hunde leben nicht in Zwingern, sondern in Rudeln. Das ist natürlicher für die Hunde, bedeutet für uns aber mehr Arbeit und Verantwortung.
Du lernst bei uns viel über Hundesprache, Körpersprache, Verhalten und die Dynamik eines Rudels.
🌿 Wir leben einfach
Wir leben auf einer Farm in Griechenland und haben nicht den gleichen Standard wie zu Hause.
Unser Leben ist einfach und den Tieren gewidmet. Die Tiere stehen bei uns an erster Stelle.
Wir bemühen uns, deinen Aufenthalt angenehm zu gestalten, aber es wird nicht dasselbe sein wie zu Hause. Du kommst nicht in ein Hotel oder eine Ferienunterkunft, sondern zu uns auf unseren Gnadenhof.
Wir leben mitten in der Natur. Ja, es gibt Insekten. Ja, es gibt Spinnen. Vielleicht findest du sogar eine in deinem Zelt. 😉 Und wenn der griechische Sommer heiß ist, ist er heiß. Wenn es regnet, ist es nass.
Das ist Griechenland.
🌊 Deine freie Zeit gehört dir
Trotz allem bleibt viel Zeit für dich selbst. Die Arbeitszeit ist klar geregelt – danach gehört deine Zeit dir.
Du kannst entspannen, lesen, ans Meer fahren oder die Region erkunden. Das Meer ist etwa 15 Minuten entfernt, Olympia rund eine Stunde und Athen etwa 2,5 Stunden.
👋 Wen wir suchen
Wir bevorzugen Workaways ab 25 Jahren. Wenn du jünger bist und glaubst, dass du gut zu uns passt, schreib uns.
40+ Workaways sind herzlich willkommen! 💖
Die Arbeit ist körperlich nicht besonders anstrengend. Was wir brauchen, sind zuverlässige, selbstständige Menschen, die Tiere wirklich lieben und wissen, dass Tierschutz nicht nur aus schönen Momenten besteht.
Du solltest mit einfachen Wohn- und Lebensbedingungen zurechtkommen und verstehen:
Hier dreht sich alles um die Tiere.
Wenn du nicht nur Tiere streicheln, sondern wirklich helfen möchtest und bereit bist, dich für eine Zeit auf unser Leben einzulassen, dann bist du vielleicht genau der Mensch, den wir suchen. ❤️🐾 -

With us you will get a deep insight into active animal protection in Greece. Our life revolves around animals and most of our friends are active animal rights activists. In winter, if you want, you can experience the olive harvest with friends of ours. We speak English in everyday life and you can brush up on your knowledge.
Bei uns bekommst du einen tiefen Einblick in den aktiven Tierschutz in Griechenland. Unser Leben dreht sich um die Tiere und die meisten unsere Freunde sind aktive Tierschützer. Wir sind mitten in der Natur, weg von lärmigen Strassen und Städten.
Im Winter kannst du, wenn du möchtest, bei Freunden von uns die Olivenernte erleben.
Wir reden Englisch im Alltag und du kannst deine Kenntnisse auffrischen. -
Ajuda
We want workaways who are independent and think for themselves.
The work is not difficult, but it requires a certain amount of responsibility and thinking when dealing with the animals.
The days off are organized independently by the workaways.
You can support us here: With everything that needs to be done with the dogs, e.g. preparing food, feeding, collecting droppings, going for walks, combing, bathing, grooming, cleaning the food kitchen, disposing of rubbish and always lots of petting in between. With everything that needs to be done with the cats, e.g. feeding, cleaning litter boxes, cleaning the cat house, disposing of rubbish, looking after the cat garden and here too, always lots of petting.
Are you good at handicrafts or even a real craftsman? There is always work to be done on the property, such as repairing fences, looking after trees, sometimes laying or repairing a water pipe. We are constantly working on optimising the environment. Dogs or cats are always involved in this work too, so petting is always in demand here too.
Are you a gardener or do you love gardening? We grow some of our own vegetables and have fruit trees and ornamental trees. The cat garden also requires special attention. Here, too, you are right in the middle of the animals and often need both hands to pet them.
Wir wünschen uns Workaways die selbständig sind und mitdenken. Die Arbeit ist nicht schwierig, doch sie fordert ein gewisses Mass an Verantwortung und Mitdenken im Umgang mit den Tieren.
Die freien Tage werden unter den Workaways selbständig organisiert.
Hier kannst du uns unterstützen:
Bei allem, was bei den Hunden anfällt, z.B. Futter vorbereiten, füttern, Kot sammeln, spazieren gehen, kämmen, baden, pflegen, Futterküche reinigen, Müll entsorgen und immer ganz viel streicheln dazwischen.
Bei allem, was bei den Katzen anfällt, z.B. füttern, Katzenklos reinigen, Katzenhaus reinigen, Müll entsorgen, Katzengarten pflegen und auch hier immer ganz viel streicheln.
Bist du handwerklich begabt oder sogar ein richtiger Handwerker? Auf dem Grundstück fallen immer wieder Arbeiten an, wie z.B. Zäune ausbessern, Bäume pflegen, auch mal eine Wasserleitung legen oder reparieren. Wir sind ständig dran, die Umgebung zu optimieren.
Auch bei diesen Arbeiten sind immer Hunde oder Katzen dabei. Also auch hier werden immer wieder Streicheleinheiten eingefordert.
Bist du Gärtner oder liebst die Gartenarbeit? Wir bauen einen Teil unseres Gemüses selbst an, haben Obstbäume und Zierbäume. Zudem erfordert der Katzengarten spezielle Aufmerksamkeit. Auch hier bist du mitten drin in den Tieren und brauchst oft beide Hände zum streicheln. -

Acomodação
In summer we have tents right on the property for our workaways. In Winter we have two small rooms next to the kitchen and the cat house.
The tents are fully walk-in, equipped with proper mattresses, and have electricity available.
Since the Volunteers are living on the property, our can cook their own meals.
We go shopping and buy groceries, including vegetarian, vegan, and other options.
For extra supplies, there's a supermarket within a 10-minute walk.
Preparing meals does not count as working time.
We provide basic food supplies. Bread, butter, pasta, rice, potatoes, legumes, oats, seasonal vegetables, apples, bananas, coffee, tea, jam, oil, and spices.
If Workawayers would like additional items such as meat, cold cuts, cheese, or eggs, they are welcome to purchase these themselves according to their personal preferences.
Im Sommer haben wir für unser Workaways begehbare Zelte mit richtigen Matratzen und Stromanschluss. Für den Winter haben wir zwei kleine Schlafzimmer direkt neben der Küche und dem Katzenhaus.
Da die Zelte direkt auf dem Grundstück stehen, können unsere Workaways selbst kochen.
Wir gehen einkaufen und besorgen die Lebensmitteln, gerne auch nach individuellen Vorlieben, vegetarisch, vegan, etc.
Für die extra Sachen ist ein Supermarkt ist in 10 Min. zu Fuss erreichbar.
Die Zubereitung der Mahlzeiten zählt nicht als Arbeitszeit.
Wir stellen grundlegende Lebensmittel zur Verfügung. Brot, Butter, Nudeln, Reis, Kartoffeln, Hülsenfrüchte, Haferflocken, saisonales Gemüse, Äpfel, Bananen, Kaffee, Tee, Marmelade, Öl und Gewürze.
Wenn Workawayer zusätzliche Lebensmittel wie Fleisch, Wurst, Käse oder Eier möchten, können sie diese gerne nach ihren persönlichen Vorlieben selbst kaufen. -
