VOLUNTEER
Would you like to actively support us at Dog Rescue Auktsjaur?
Would you like to get involved through your volunteer work?
We are happy to welcome committed supporters!
-
Volunteers must be at least 18 years old and should ideally also have previous dog experience. You should also be able to speak and understand German and English, as German and English are the main languages spoken at the shelter alongside Swedish.
-
The work at the shelter is often very physically demanding. You have to squat a lot and sometimes carry very heavy loads. It is important that you are physically resilient - but also emotionally.
-
You can spend the night on my property. There are various options for this, which we will discuss in advance. All meals and drinks are included in your stay.
-
Travel for the volunteer work is at your own expense. You book and pay for your journey yourself.
We will agree the travel date together in advance. The destination airport is Arvidsjaur (ARJ).
You will be picked up at the airport. The shelter is approx. 25 minutes' drive from the airport.
It is also possible to arrive by ferry or train. -
The minimum length of stay is 2 weeks. We prefer longer periods, as it takes a few days to familiarize yourself on site.
-
What tasks await you?
Your main task will be to look after the dogs. This includes cleaning their rooms and outdoor enclosures, grooming their fur and taking them for walks. -
The work assignment is recognized in Switzerland for the FBA animal care internship!
