A project located in a rural area of Portugal, within the Serra da Estrela Natural Park, is looking for volunteers willing to change their routine in exchange for contact with rescued animals. The proposal includes free accommodation, at no cost to the participants.
The Portuguese sanctuary houses 86 animals of different species that were rescued. The volunteers are responsible for the daily care of these animals, which includes feeding, enclosure hygiene and basic veterinary care.
In return, volunteers only need to work 24 hours per week. In addition to free accommodation, they also receive vegetarian meals and have free time to explore the region and practice outdoor activities in Serra da Estrela.
The proposal has attracted the attention of international travelers and volunteers, who are looking for an experience with fewer working hours and more time to enjoy nature and the company of rescued animals.
