We are looking for hardworking, trustworthy and enthusiastic people - this experience is like no other, you will surely fall in love with our little piece of animal heaven!
WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR:
- Animal lovers - as living with animals always brings surprises and things can happen at any time, I do need to be able to count on you in case of emergency, even during your free time.
- We need your commitment - short-notice cancellations and people that are leaving earlier than planned are putting us in a very hard position. If you plan on just coming for volunteering, consider some days before and/or after for traveling/sightseeing only, so you won’t have to change dates once you are here! Also, if you fly directly from f.e. Europe or the US, you might need some resting time before starting.
- We will prioritize long-term volunteers with a minimum commitment of 2-3 months and 25+ years old (but depends on motivation, work experience and urgency)
- High level of spoken English, French or Dutch
- Previous experience in Thailand/SEA beneficial
- Lots of common sense!!
- Be adventurous, able to work unsupervised, self-motivated and easy-going, while also being a team player

GENERAL VOLUNTEER TASKS
- The full timetable that all the volunteers follow can be a little tiring in the beginning, but it will get easier. Depending on the morning or afternoon shift, these are some of the tasks:
- General cleaning tasks like f.e. sweeping/mopping/tidying up the areas, washing laundry, dishes and bowls and of course poo scooping
- We provide our dogs fresh food (incl. fish and meat), which means cooking every second day
- Feeding dogs and cats
- Walking the dogs in different groups, no leashes involved - they get to run completely free in the jungle!
- Socializing with the animals, incl. giving good-night-cookies :)
- Monitoring the health of our dogs and cats, incl. bathing dogs with skin problems and giving necessary meds to them
- Helping with the groceries for the animals approximately every 2-3 weeks
- You might be asked to do other tasks if necessary, like Social Media, little repairs, gardening etc.
ACCOMMODATION
- Accommodation will vary depending on the length of your stay.
- You will live in a basic Thai style accommodation - it is comfortable, but not western style
- You will share your room, bathroom, kitchen and living area with other volunteers
- The kitchen includes a hob and fridge
- Within walking and driving distance of the sanctuary and only a 10-15 minute walk to the beach
- Bed linen is provided, but please bring your own towels
- You will be part of the Thai community, please share and respect their lifestyle
- You will take your share in cleaning after yourself (not just your own room!)
- If you feel that you need a higher standard accommodation, you are of course welcome to do this at your own expense. Please just let us know in advance.
FOOD
Drinking water is provided at the sanctuary during your working hours. All of our income is entirely dependent on donations, so we are not able to offer any food. You are more than welcome to use the kitchen facilities for self-catering, but it is also cheap to eat out at local restaurants.
Samui International Airport (USM)
You can fly direct to Koh Samui airport. Or fly to mainland Surat Thani airport and take the bus/ferry transfer. You will receive more info on this from us!
Males & Females welcome
Couples accommodated
Families NOT accommodated
Pets NOT allowed
You will assist Francoise with daily care of the animals and the sanctuary.
If you have extra skills like Social Media or maintenance (painting, building repairs, gardening etc.), please let us know!
