Animal shelters play an important role in protecting lost and abandoned animals in Barcelona, but often they can be overcrowded. As a volunteer on this project, you’ll support the shelters to cope with the significant number of animals and improve the conditions for these cats and dogs.
Volunteer support is crucial in playing with the cats and dogs to keep them active and healthy, so they can be adopted or re-integrated with local families. Your core role is to walk and play with animals so they have time out of their enclosures each day. You can also help with cleaning, feeding and raising awareness in the community about animal abandonment.
The long term aim of volunteering with animals is to have them ready to be adopted. That means they should be healthy, happy and appealing for local families who come into the shelter looking to adopt.
You will be working alongside local volunteers as well as shelter staff to support their day-to-day tasks. Your duties will vary and depending on your skills and the length of your stay.
All dogs in the shelters are fully vaccinated. This project has a minimum duration requirement of 2 weeks.
