At Animal Army, volunteers are an essential part of our work to rescue, care for, and rehabilitate animals in need. Whether you’re passionate about animal welfare, want hands-on experience with dogs and cats, or are looking for a meaningful way to give back, your contribution makes a real difference.
Our volunteer program is designed to be engaging, educational, and impactful — offering opportunities to work directly with animals while supporting rescue, medical care, and long-term welfare initiatives.

What Volunteers Do
As a volunteer with Animal Army, you will play a hands-on role in supporting the animals in our care. Volunteer activities may include:
- Walking, socializing, and caring for dogs and cats — while also capturing photos and videos that help us share their stories across social media and maintain a strong, high-visibility online presence
- Assisting with enrichment and rehabilitation activities
- Helping with daily kennel routines, feeding, and comfort care
- Supporting staff with non-clinical tasks around the facility
- Participating in community outreach and awareness efforts
Volunteers help our animals build confidence, recover from trauma, and prepare for adoption — while also helping us raise awareness, increase support, and connect animals with future homes.
Volunteer Housing & Facilities
We provide comfortable on-site volunteer housing, with two dedicated houses accommodating up to eight volunteers at a time. This allows volunteers to stay close to the clinic, fully participate in daily activities, and build a supportive community with fellow animal lovers.
A daily contribution fee of $5. EU per day helps support utilities, accommodation upkeep, and the ongoing care of the animals.
Who Can Volunteer
We welcome volunteers of all backgrounds — from experienced animal carers to those new to hands-on welfare work. What matters most is a passion for animals, willingness to learn, and a positive attitude.
- Minimum age: 18 years
- Minimum commitment: 2 weeks
- Longer-term commitments are strongly preferred
Experience with photography, videography, or social media is especially valuable, but not required.
We provide orientation and on-site guidance so every volunteer feels confident and supported.
