Are you passionate about making a difference for animals, but haven’t found the right opportunity yet?
Our Souda Shelter in Crete needs compassionate volunteers like you to join our mission.
Whether you’re looking to gain hands-on experience for your future career, need a refreshing break from your daily routine, or simply want to spend your holidays in a meaningful way – we have a place for you on our team.
You choose how often you can lend a helping hand, whether it’s a few hours a week or full days during your school breaks. Trust us, the work may be emotionally and physically demanding at times, but the incredible rewards of caring for our rescue animals make it all worthwhile.
Join the Cause
Fundraise for the Shelter: Get Involved
Consider organizing a fundraising event in your community, such as a charity walk, birthday parties, bake sale, pet photo contest, raffle or auction. Your creativity and effort can make a big difference in the lives of the animals we care for.
Spread the word about our shelter and the work we do. Sharing our mission on social media, with friends and family, or at your workplace can help us reach more people who may be willing to contribute to our cause.
Comfort & Convenience
Where to stay?
We could provide a contact where there are spaces avalaible. This is very near to the shelter.
There is hotel in the center of Souda it is about one kilometer away from the shelter so going and coming is easy even by walking. It is also close to the bus stop that takes you straight to the city of Chania.
The hotel is great for a short period of time but if you are planning to stay longer a room with a kitchen would be a better choice. We will help you with that.
Volunteer while on holiday.
Maybe you are more interested in staying in the town centre of Chania with its scenic harbour, narrow streets, tourist shops and restaurants.
Chania is also a very vibrant town with a lot of shops and kafenions for everyday Greek life during the whole time of the year. There is a bus service to Souda harbour and then it’s a 10 minute walk to the shelter.
If you want to stay during your volunteer experience in a more relaxing little town, you might want to choose one of the great beach resorts nearby which also have small shops and many restaurants. You could volunteer f.e. from 7:00 to 13:00 and then enjoy beach life or visit the many things to see in Chania or the area.
If you have questions, post it on our facebook group – there are many people there who can give excellent advice.
So what are you waiting for?
Join our mission and make a real difference in the lives of Crete’s forgotten four-legged friends.
