Hear from past volunteers
Melinda Hollinger (Veterinary Technician)
Volunteered at the Galapagos Animal Doctors
"Our volunteer handbooks from WVS were very helpful in preparing for our trip detailing everything we needed from vaccinations required, and what to pack in our luggage, to what to expect on the islands."
Paul and Annie
Volunteered at WVS Thailand
"This experience has changed everything about us. We know that even when we move on from here, we will always return, for as long as it's possible. We have made that our commitment."
Sophie Garnett (Vet Nurse)
Volunteered at Save The Dogs Romania
"You can see everyone who works here really loves these animals, which is always an amazing environment to be in. I was sad to leave after a week, I would love to go back and hopefully I can make that happen in the future!"
Dr Emily Fairhurst (Veterinarian)
Volunteered at Paxos Animal Welfare Society
"Being able to make a tangible difference to the welfare of the cats on the island was incredibly rewarding and reminded me of why as veterinary professionals we chose this career path in the first place: to help animals and make a difference."
Dr Jack Phelan (Veterinarian)
Volunteered at BSPCA in Malawi
"The local village dogs are fantastic to treat, and it is amazing watching them come out of their shell once they get to know you. There is also great satisfaction in helping malnourished dogs with severe mange/parasite burdens transform into healthy, outgoing little dogs."
Ellie Shelburne (Veterinarian)
Volunteered at Karumbé Sea Turtle Project
"Perhaps my favourite activity was releasing tagged turtles back to the ocean, knowing they can live over 80 years and swim huge distances, to Africa, the United States and back to Uruguay. I came away with many memories and a renewed awareness of how many of the things we do can affect the earth and all its creatures."
