Background Information
If you’ve ever traveled through Asia, you’re sure to have seen many stray dogs wandering in the streets scavenging, close to fast moving cars and all the hustle and bustle. In most cases approx these dogs do not have a proper home and as a result are not well looked after or fed regularly.
On this program, you’ll work within local animal shelters alongside caring animal lovers with the aim of rehabilitating stray dogs so that in time they may be ready for adoption by a loving family.
The project also operates the Animal Birth Control Program to educate pet owners of the importance of having dogs spayed and neutered.
You’ll assist daily exercise for the dogs, cleaning, socializing, and giving them lots of love and affection!
Indicative Schedule
You will work at the animal shelter from 9:00 to midday and then again in the afternoon from 14:00 to 16:00. Your daily tasks will include,
– Walking, feeding, cleaning the dogs and their cages
– Socializing with the dogs to help them adapt to people so they are more adoption ready
