Do you love being outdoors, like animals, and have no problem with physically challenging work? If so, then this volunteer work in the South of Chile is perfect for you! This volunteer project takes place in the south of Puerto Montt, where the famous Patagonia begins.
This volunteer project was founded in 2010 and is a nonprofit organization that is dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation, and resettlement of stray cats in Santiago. Unfortunately, in Chile, and much of Latin America, animals’ lives are not given as much value as in industrialized countries.

By supporting this volunteer organization, you will help rescued dogs and cats. The streetscape of Chile’s capital of Santiago is, unfortunately, characterized by vagabond dogs that eat rotten food from the garbage.
