Help needed at our busy dog refuge

Location: Torrox Costa, Spain
We are looking for people to volunteer with the day-to-day running of the dog refuge. We currently have over 70 dogs/puppies on site.

WORKING ARRANGEMENT

5 hours a day. The working hours are 08:00-11:00 and 16:00-18:00 - but please be flexible. One day off a week. The work is 90% cleaning. Including cleaning the kennels, washing food bowls, doing the laundry (dog blankets and towels) ensuring the volunteer house is kept clean etc.

The rest of the time is your own - you do not need to be at the refuge. However, if you are interested you are welcome to help with other jobs or take the dogs out for walks to the beach etc etc. There are a lot of learning opportunities for someone who wants to gain experience/knowledge of working with rescue dogs.
Min stay 1 month

LIVING ARRANGEMENT

VERY basic, shared, on-site accommodation and food provided (add requested items onto a list and they will be bought for you...we usually have an evening meal together but the rest of the time you will need to fix your own food)
There are dogs living in the little house too. They maybe young, sick or have other issues.....they are usually not fully house trained.
•••••••••••
The little refuge house is basically one room with bunk beds, office area, kitchenette and bathroom. It is a completely shared space. We can also put you in touch with rental accommodation if you prefer peace.
It can be very noisy (new dogs, full moon, sirens....will make the dogs more barkey) some volunteers wear ear plugs at night.
