    Over het programma

    🐕 Community Animal Welfare

    Volunteers can support awareness activities that encourage responsible pet ownership and help local communities understand the importance of vaccination, sterilisation and humane treatment of animals.

    🏡 Finding a New Home

    The goal is not simply to rescue animals, but to help them recover and find suitable long-term homes. Volunteers can support the animals' socialisation and daily care while learning more about responsible adoption and animal welfare.

    The goal is not only to care for animals at the shelter, but also to contribute to long-term improvements in animal welfare within the local community.

    Volunteers without veterinary qualifications do not perform medical procedures. They may assist the veterinary team with appropriate non-clinical tasks under supervision. Qualified veterinary students or professionals may have additional responsibilities depending on their qualifications and the approval of the local veterinary team.
