Travelers looking to have a hands-on experience with animals can travel to the Mediterranean city of Split, Croatia where a unique volunteering opportunity awaits them. On the outskirts of the city, volunteers partner with a local animal shelter where they will work with animals who have been abandoned, mistreated and lack homes. Perfect for those who love animals, this experience involves caring for the animals in the shelter, including providing them with rehabilitation and exercise. Throughout the trip, volunteers will help to find the animals safe and loving homes with local families. A typical day may include walking, feeding, grooming, cleaning and playing with animals, all while helping with the adoption process. Finally, volunteers work to educate the public on proper care for pets to prevent more animals from being abandoned.
This travel volunteer experience is offered by Love Volunteers. Trips cost $779 for 1 week of volunteering, and can be extended up to 3 months. Love Volunteers is a company based in New Zealand that partners with local charities around the world to provide affordable volunteering experiences abroad.
