The Green Lion
💼 What the programme involves
This program focuses on the rescue of animals that were previously abused. We house thousands of animals every year, most of which have also been given up on and abandoned.
You will have the chance to learn about these fascinating animals, play with them, provide them with food and maintain and clean their housing in hope that they can find comfort.
This shelter ensures all its inhabitants well-being from the moment they are rescued, to the first month in their new homes. Adopters go through an extensive process to guarantee that they are aware of the commitment and responsibility that comes with taking care of a pet.
You will walk the shelter's dogs, play with the cats, and, in general, provide love and attention to the shelter's inhabitants.
Aims & Objectives :
Assist the animal shelter with extra hands and effort,
Provide you with invaluable experience in animal welfare,
Give abandoned animals a chance for a better future.
