    Om programmet

    An animal saver is ideally someone who is confident around dogs, or has experience of working with them. Animal savers are in charge all day round.

    Your mission takes you out there: you help whenever help is needed, during spaying and neutering campaigns, or in the clinic when necessary — especially at weekends, or when staff are off or missing work. This is why the role does not come with a definite working schedule or a definite amount of free time.

    When you are not needed for emergencies or special one-time tasks, your main task is to assure the best possible life conditions to our rescued dogs, working mainly at the shelter.

    Animal savers have no fear of difficult situations. They catch dogs with their hands, and especially with their heart. Volunteers who want to call themselves animal savers have no fear of getting dirty, and never forget to take a leash, a bag of dry food and a bottle of water with a bowl when they go out. They don't miss any occasion to catch a dog on the street and bring them to our clinic to be spayed or neutered, as this is the easiest way to save lives and to fight abandonment, starvation and suffering. Their help is crucial during spaying and neutering campaigns outside the clinic.

    **We also ask every animal saver to photograph and film what they do.** Thirty percent of our work is financed by private donations, and people give to what they can see. You do not need to be a photographer, your phone is enough. Take photos and short videos as you go, note down what happened to each animal, and hand the material over before you leave. Our Communication Team uses it for social posts, newsletters and fundraising campaigns.

    Typisk dag

    The special mission of an animal saver does not allow for a definite working schedule or a definite amount of free time. Every occasion is good to save lives or to stop suffering. In Mindelo and in the villages of São Vicente there are thousands of stray dogs waiting to be treated, spayed, neutered and dewormed — even in your free time.

    When you are not out on an emergency or a special task, you work at the shelter, assuring the best possible life conditions to our rescued dogs, or in the clinic when necessary.

    You will have the opportunity to take part in or observe Simabo's wider work, for example outreach vaccination and neutering, and education sessions. This depends on what is timetabled during your stay, so it cannot be guaranteed, but volunteers are welcome to observe and assist.

    Whatever the day brings, keep your phone or your camera with you.

    NOTES:

    - The information given in the Time Commitment section of this program is only indicative and not binding: the free day can be on any day of the week (maybe on the weekend, maybe not) and the working time is per shift: one morning shift from 7 AM to 1 PM, or one afternoon shift from 1 PM to 7 PM.

    - Changes in shifts must be communicated a week in advance and be authorised.

    - Changes in shifts can't leave shifts uncovered.

    - We'll do our best to give you the morning shift on the last working day of one week and the afternoon shift of the first working day of the following week, so that you have 2 days and 2 nights off and you can visit another island if you like.
