About Program

Combine your love for dogs and desire to improve the unfortunate situation of abandoned street dogs in Naples taking good care of them!

The program is managed by a local NGO who protects street animals in Naples with the aim to improve the situation of animals living on the streets. The NGO is managing a dog shelter in the suburbs of the city, in one of the most populated and underprivileged area of the city. The shelter is an home for more than 100 dogs who were abandoned or grew up on the streets. The shelter is leaded by a retired vet who who divides her time between different activities ranging from veterinary care, cleaning cages, preparing food and of course playing, as well as coordinating volunteers and struggling to receive support. You'll help her and the other local volunteers in taking good care of the dogs: they'll be very rewarding and they'll be your best friends!

Amazing experience

At first, not being young anymore, I didn't know what to expect. INN's team made me feel good from the very beginning. I have felt fully welcomed. Thank you so much Ivan and the team for everything, your efficiency, your advices and support, your ability to connect people with other volunteers. I worked for 3 weeks in the dog shelter, it is hard work, cleaning, feeding, brushing, taking care of the dogs, but being a dog lover I enjoyed it a lot. The staff and volunteers at the shelter, Melina, Pia, Elsa, Matteo, Francesca, Veronica ... are doing an amazing job. I will come back again.

I loved it !

I had an amazing experience at the dog shelter and it was one of the best volunteerings I ever did. I met so many nice people and we became really close since we all stayed in the same house. Ivan is really nice and always helps you if you have any questions. I loved to help with the dogs because they are very cute and the people are so kind. Another thing that I really loved is that the house was in the center of naples, so there were many things to do around. I liked it so much that I want to go back next year :)

Pros
  • nice people
  • safe
  • much love
