Join a dog rescue in Thailand as a volunteer!
Dog Rescue exchange โ We are setting up a new dog (and cat) rescue sanctuary in Ratchaburi, Thailand. (About 2 hours west of Bangkok). We need people to help us build fences, new dog runs and kennels, clear the land so we can plant our veggie gardens. Once this is done we will need help with cleaning up after dogs, feeding, walking dogs and training dogs.
The exchange
We can provide shared accommodation in our house on site, and simple Thai and western meals (3 a day). (You won’t go hungry!). Most meals will be vegetarian. We expect four hours work for each day you stay (this can be split morning and night, or 7 hours per day for 4 days, with 3 days off). We are in a rural quiet spot so you can enjoy real Thai living and culture.
