WHAT DO YOU NEED TO START?

In 4 steps,
no hassle.

We don't ask for perfect experience, just an open heart. We're with you through the whole process.

Apply

Choose your area and tell us who you are. No long résumés — we want to get to know you.

Welcome chat

A 45-min virtual call. We'll tell you about the foundation, safety measures, and the best-fit role for you.

Field induction

In Medellín or at the Sanctuary. You learn by doing, always with support.

You start changing lives

With follow-up, a WhatsApp group, and an hours certificate when you finish.

You don't just help.
It transforms you too.

Volunteering here isn't a pretty photo. It's mud, laughter, early mornings, and that look that finally learns to trust.

💛

Human fact: 78% of our volunteers say this was the most meaningful experience of their year. We're not the ones saying it — their 11pm messages are.

🧠

Real learning

First aid, canine and feline body language, trauma handling, teamwork under pressure.

🤝

A community that embraces you

An active group, a mentorship plan, outings, sanctuary bonfires, and friends who become family.

🌎

Measurable impact

You see the before and after. Every adoption, every wound that heals, carries your hands in it.

📜

Certificate + purpose

Hours certificate, a letter of recommendation, and a story you'll always want to tell.

🐾

You don't need to be perfect. If you sometimes cry, if you get too attached, if you arrive scared — welcome. Here we take care of the animals, and of the people who care for them too.

Questions we always get

Not for areas 1 and 2. Just empathy, respect, and a willingness to learn. For area 3 we do require training or positive-reinforcement experience.

Of course! Many volunteers sign up as a pair or group. Just let us know in the form that you're going together.

Volunteering itself is free. At the Sanctuary we cover lodging and meals; only your transportation there is on you.

Yes, when you finish your volunteering you receive an hours certificate and, if you need it, a letter of recommendation.
