Volunteer with D.A.R.N.A
If you love animals and want to help us find homes for ours, read on! There are several ways in which you can lend us your skills...
Animal Care On Site
We currently have 2 sites where our animals live - one for dogs and cats, and one for farm animals. As an animal care volunteer, you will help us make sure their homes are clean and safe, and that they are healthy and happy!
Building & Maintenance On Site
As with anything, our sanctuary always needs things fixing here and there. Sometimes it's putting up fences, sometimes it's building new shelters for the animals. If you like to get your hands dirty and enjoy problem solving, this is for you!
Virtual Volunteer
Behind the scenes at any animal shelter is a helluva lot of organization! From keeping our social media active, to keeping databases updated and forms filed. This can be done from anywhere, and requires great communication skills
"After You're Gone" Program
Do you worry what will happen to your beloved pets if you are no longer around to care for them? Our family are all pet lovers and their biggest concern is "what will happen to my pets if I should suddenly not be around". We can help put your mind at ease. Write to adopt.darna@gmail.com to sign up.
€5 Per month Per Pet
This will ensure we will be able to provide for your pet when you are gone. We will give you a tag for your pet's collar as well as a magnet for your fridge stating that your pet will become the responsibility of D.A.R.N.A should you be no longer available to care for them.
A Plan in Place
As soon as we are informed that a pet has no owner we will collect your pet(s) and start the process of finding them a "Forever Home" Until a new home is found they will stay with us at our sanctuary.
Peace of Mind
As with all the animals in our care, we will carefully select a new, loving home for your pet after you are gone.
About Us
We are a fully registered charity in Spain - G40650640 - and are dedicated to the care of animals that are stray, have been abandoned, abused, and scheduled for sacrifice. We care for different species of animals in our sanctuary, in our eyes all animals deserve an opportunity for a happy life without fear or threat.
Our sanctuary is 100% volunteer run, and we rely on the kindness of strangers for financial support to help us sterilize the animals and take good care of them. Please donate if you can.
