Volunteers working at animal shelters and animal sanctuaries will have many different tasks, such as cleaning shelters, feeding animals, walking dogs and cats and assisting in the rehabilitation of traumatized animals. You can also participate in efforts to control stray animal overcrowding during your time at a cat and dog rescue center. Due to the amount of work it takes to keep the program running, help from volunteers is always greatly appreciated. This is also a great opportunity for volunteers any age who are passionate about animals and want to spend time volunteering at an animal shelter.
The project is located on the beautiful Atlantic coast of Bilbao.
Volunteer tasks may include: Caring for stray dogs and cats (grooming, taking dogs for walks), cleaning cages, administering medications, supporting sterilization procedures, assisting in rescue operations, distributing food for animals on the street , PR and work, maintain websites, help raise funds, etc. Before starting your volunteer project, you will receive an orientation from our local staff. Staff who run this kind of organizations are very happy to welcome volunteers from all over the world. Usually you will be in the program with other volunteers.
