Volunteer with Wolves in Portugal

Company : Oyster Worldwide
Duration: 2 weeks to 4 weeks
Approx Costs: 1250 to 1750 £ Pound (UK)

Volunteer at a wolf sanctuary in Portugal, helping to care for wolves which have been rescued from badly run zoos. These wolves now live happily at the sanctuary just outside of Lisbon, and are able to enjoy a life as close to the wild as possible.

Volunteers are a vital part of the wolves' care and rehabilitation. As a wolf sanctuary volunteer, you will be helping out with:

Food preparation
Feeding
Providing water
Monitoring
Removing alien vegatation
Planting native species

This is a great way to work close to the wolves in their natural habitat, and learn all about their care and conservation.

You will live on site at the wolf sanctuary, sharing a lovely little wooden cabin with up to 5 other volunteers. The cabin is self catering and has a well equipped kitchen, a lovely living room and dining room and a verandah overlooking the wolf sanctuary.

The sanctuary is located approximately 40 minutes from Lisbon, and you are free to head into the city at weekends to enjoy a bit of city life. You are also close to some lovely beaches, historic sites and more.
