Description
Hi! I`m Noam, a passionate animal lover. I have always been connected with animals. I have a special bond with dogs but I love all animals, especially donkeys and elephants.
I have 2 lovely dogs of my own, a Canaan-Pitbull mix and and a Malinois.
In April 2025 I started volunteering at a dog shelter in Greece and fell in love with the world of volunteering. My biggest passion is animal care, but I love children and have worked in a daycare before!

Quelles sont vos compétences ?
Because of my life-long interest in animals, I have learned a great deal about taking care of them. Feeding, training, walking, communicating and reading their body language and of course - giving them all the love they deserve.
Besides that, I can clean, cook, bake, have great people skills and have lived in a communal space before. I have done office work and can answer calls, emails, messages etc, I can use Microsoft programs if needed.
I speak English and Hebrew fluently and have a good ear for language learning.
I have also worked with representatives from dozens of countries so I would love to meet new people.

Laissé par le workawayer () pour l'hôte (Save the stray dogs and cats ...)

I volunteered here for 2.5 months, from April to June 2025, and it was truly one of the best decisions I’ve ever made!
This was my first Workaway experience, and I’m so glad I ended up in such a sweet and welcoming place.

My first communication was with Petra, who was kind, informative and lovely to talk to. The same goes for Daphna, who was… read more always so sweet, helpful and understanding.
On-site I worked with Giannis and Nikos, who taught me a lot about the history of the dogs at the shelter, how to handle situations I hadn’t encountered before and general knowledge about Greece, the Greek language and the local area.
I did find the communication challenging at times due to language barriers and cultural differences, but it was all part of the learning experience.

In my first few weeks I worked with Jamie, a very experienced volunteer who was super helpful with insights about the area, the dogs, and the people we worked with. I also met Annebelle there, and thanks to this place made a new friend! Now we travel together and planning to volunteer again in the future.

The living conditions were simple but very good! Personally I loved the small house which was cozy and equipped with most of what we need, with a supermarket nearby. There’s a good shower and a new laundry machine which is very handy when you work with dogs :) It also comes with Rex, the local landlady’s dog who is such a delight to have around.

The dogs at the shelter are amazing! Words can’t capture how truly wonderful they are. So loving, cuddly, funny and full of character! None are aggressive toward people, although some were understandably anxious, shy or not very approachable. There were even a few I wished I could have adopted myself.

The shelter itself is relatively small which makes it perfect for anyone who wishes to bond with the dogs and build personal connections. It lacks in hygiene and requires some TLC but that is understandable, and that’s what we’re here for! Be prepared for hard but rewarding work, because every second you spend with those dogs is incredible.
Our main tasks included scooping poop, filling water buckets, cleaning the area, walking dogs, accompanying them to the vet and airport (for fostering and adoption), feeding, socializing, brushing, providing basic medical care and of course – giving them all the love we possibly could.

I would love to come back one day. Thank you Petra, Daphna, Karin, Nikos and Giannis for an experience I will never forget!

(Excellent)
