Whatever your skills or amount of time you have available to offer, the dogs will benefit greatly from your offer of volunteering. Volunteering will also give you valuable work experience and will improve your chances of employment within the animal care sector.

Arrivals - There are two airports to choose from, Malaga is the prefered onebut you may be able to get flights to Sevilla, the travel distance is about the same, one hour & 15 minutes to Pedrera. There is a train direct to Pedrera from both Malaga and Sevilla.We do pick ups from Pedrera station.
Volunteer jobs - There are a variety of jobs that have to be done on a daily basis e.g. cleaning the dogs, feeding the dogs and in the summer months giving the dogs a bath and grooming and of course walking the dogs or using the exercise yard to train the dogs.

Dog walking
