Animal Rescue in Croatia

About the program

This wonderful Animal Rescue program in Croatia supports an animal shelter in the seaside city of Split. The Shelter provides refuge to hundreds of domestic animals that are abandoned or born homeless every year. With far too many animals neglected and far too few shelters to cater to their needs volunteers are desperately needed here!

The shelter, situated on the outskirts of Split, was set up to rescue abandoned, mistreated and homeless domestic animals; to provide a safe haven, medical care and attention with the focus on rehoming as many animals as possible. Volunteers are needed to interact with the animals, to regain their trust and help them to be become perfect pets ready for a forever home!

Goals of this Project:

• Provide a safe place for abandoned and homeless domestic animals
• Care for, exercise and rehabilitate the animals in care
• Find permanent, loving homes for abandoned, mistreated or homeless domestic pets.
• Educate the public on caring for animals and prevent future pets being abandoned

‍

Volunteer's role

Volunteers on this project can expect to participate in a number of tasks, including:

• Assist with feeding duties  
• Cleaning and maintaining the animal shelters and grounds
• Grooming, walking and interacting with the animals
• Helping with rehoming initiatives

Requirements

Love Volunteers welcomes all those 18 years and over (17 with parental consent) who wish to help domestic animals in Split. This 'hands-on' project is best suited to those who are either pursuing a career in animal conservation/veterinary studies, or who simply wish to explore an interest in this field. However, the project is open to all and does not require participants to have specific education, qualifications or experience, as you will be shown everything you need to know by one of local project leaders.

A basic knowledge of the local language (Croatian) is recommended but not essential.
