As some of you know from other forums I'm a volunteer at a shelter down in Andalusia, Spain. There's a distinct lack of help from locals unfortunately so I had what I consider to be a pretty good idea of inviting kind, dog loving folks down to this rural paradise to help out in exchange for a super-duper (dooper?!) and very cheap holiday.
All we ask is for a wee bit of help in the afternoons to get dogs accustomed to human affection, maybe little walks etc and the mornings are free to enjoy the sierra (some groups do yoga, training etc in our dojo, others go walking/kayaking, biking, others just take it easy and visit surrounding villages: we're here to sort you out with exactly the pastimes you want). The evenings are spent in our village enjoying the local ambience; zero stress and quality foods, wine etc.

My blog gives an idea of the beauty of the place, so check it out and tell me what you think. I reckon it's a cool way to get help for our rescue centre with the added bonus of people getting to experience this fairly hidden part of Spain (no rowdy Brit drunkenness here
) for virtually nothing. Lots of cool dogs, too....gotta get myself a Mastín, they're such a wonderful breed
My initial idea was for folks suffering with the northern European weather to come out and help and get a bit of sun, but we've got helpers from as far afield as Down Under! Incredible
