We need help with: the daily operation of the rescue centre, hosting tours of the shelter for visitors, the construction of the remaining unfinished pieces of our infrastructure, working with the local population to raise awareness in dog welfare.

This was a very interesting experience. If a very basic lifestyle is okay then this will be great for you. The water pressure dropped to nothing fairly regularly while I was there. The kitchen is very 'gheto' and nights very cold. The dogs are all absolutely lovely I never had any issues with them being anything but incredibly loving and playful with people. I was lucky enough to watch a litter of puppies grow up while I was there! Fabrizio is amazing he's super super kind all the time. He does sometimes forgot to follow through on things so don't expect everything to be done in record time!

We had a lovely time here! We stayed for a week and really enjoyed the daily tasks, feeding the dogs, cleaning up the poop, cuddling the dogs. We loved learning how to care for the dogs with injuries, learning physio therapy etc. We also helped with some gardening and structure work as the place fairly new and continually improving the site. We had a comfortable stay in a comfortable bed and use of a basic kitchen. Everyone was very friendly. We wish we could have stayed longer!

Estar en el refugioes una experiencia para salir de tu zona de confort. Es una cultura, costumbres muy diferentes do que vivo. Hay que estar comprometido y con buena voluntad para hacer el trabajo y intentar mejorar la calidad de vida de los perritos. Conocí a todos por nombre y todos los días tengo “saudade”! Espero un día regresar bien para quedarme más tiempo con ellos.

Pasamos días increíbles en el refugio, aprender a cuidar y relacionarse con los perros fue una de las aventuras más nutritivas. Fabri trabaja mucho y no lo pudimos ver tanto, pero siempre atento a cualquier necesidad. el refugio tiene lo necesario. El amor que te dan esos perros es único y hace la experiencia inolvidable! Gracias Alqoel refugio! Volveríamos una y mil veces! los vamos a extrañar..

Fue una experiencia transformadora, intensa. Dar amor a manadas de perros requiere energía y servicio. Fabricio una persona increíble totalmente comprometido con los animales y la comunidad. Necesita seres que colaboren con ese mismo compromiso para seguir rescatando . Las montañas rodean el lugar, y urubamba es mágico.
