Get active and stand up for the animals on the Caribbean island of Roatan. With this program, you can combine your passion for animals. Improve the unfortunate situation of abandoned animals on Roatan. During this volunteer program, you can help look for a new safe and beautiful home for stray dogs and cats. The program is struggling to provide sufficient space, food, medical care and attention to all of them. They must endeavor to rescue more of the ever-increasing number of abandoned animals struggling to survive alone on the streets. Augmenting the number of spays/neuters the perform each month will help reduce the large number of animals being abandoned to endure desperate lives of misery and diseases. 

The rescue services include emergency rescue and subsequent care of injured, abused, neglected, and abandoned animals. The public veterinary clinic provides low-cost and subsidized veterinary care with a focus on spaying, neutering, vaccionations and disease prevention. 

The program is managed by a logal NGO on Roatan. The sanctuary is home to dogs, cats, horses, iguanas and chickens. Due to the amount of work that it takes to keep the program running, the help provided by volunteers is always greatly appreciated. 

Your tasks as a volunteer may include: caring for street dogs and cats (taking dogs for walks), cleaning cges, administering drugs, supporting sterilization prcedures, assisting in rescue operations, distributing food for anmials on the street, public relations and educational work, maintaining websites, helping to raise funds, etc. 

You do not need to bring any equipment. The most important thing is a heart for the animals. Since the organization relies on the support of volunteers, you will work with various local and international volunteers.

Before starting your volunteer work, you will receive an orientation from our local staff. The local stuff is runned by English and Spanish speaking people.
