Animal Care Program in Portugal
by Freepackers
Program Overview
The Animal Protection Program in Lisbon is perfect for those passionate about animal welfare. As a volunteer, you'll engage in sustainable tourism while supporting abandoned dogs and cats. You'll assist non-profit shelters by playing, socializing, feeding, and cleaning the shelters of rescued animals. You'll also support adoption events, take photos and videos to help promote adoption, and spend time with dogs and cats daily.
These shelters are often overcrowded, and you play an essential role in giving time and love to animals to support their adoption.
Our project is intended for ages 16 and up, but we also welcome families with children four years and older.
