VOLUNTEERS

Volunteering Programme at Animal Wellness Trust Sri Lanka

Combine your love for animals with the rich cultural heritage and natural beauty of Sri Lanka! Our volunteering programme invites international volunteers, veterinary students, animal trainers, and animal lovers (minimum age: 18) to make a real difference in the lives of rescued animals while experiencing a meaningful and rewarding adventure.

 Our shelter is home to nearly 500 dogs and 28 cats, cared for by a passionate team and supported by a well-equipped veterinary facility. Nestled on a lush 2½-acre green estate, the Animal Wellness Trust Sri Lanka (AWTSL) offers comfortable accommodations for volunteers. While there is no fee to participate, donations are always welcome. A minimum stay of two weeks is required to join our programme.

Volunteer Activities:

• Feeding: Assist staff in feeding the dogs twice daily, starting at 6 a.m.
• Cleaning: Help clean bowls, cages, and the shelter environment to maintain a hygienic space for the animals.
• Care and Interaction: Bathe, groom, and play with the dogs and cats to provide emotional support and socialization.
• Beach Walks: Walk the dogs along the beach.
• Social Media Contribution: Share your volunteer experience by posting at least some Instagram / Tiktok daily content. Additional social media posts are highly encouraged to help raise awareness and inspire others.

Accommodation and Location:
Volunteers stay in comfortable rooms with attached bathroom, located on-site at the shelter. The shelter is situated approximately 45–50 minutes from Colombo city, making it a convenient yet serene place to stay.

Join us in creating a brighter future for rescued animals while enjoying a unique and fulfilling experience in Sri Lanka. Your time, care, and creativity will have a lasting impact on the lives of these lovable creatures.
