Volunteering at the Animal Shelter - Arche Noah Teneriffa e.V.

Volunteers Needed for Our Animal Shelter in Tenerife

We are looking for dedicated volunteers (minimum age 25) to support our staff with the daily care of our dogs and cats at our animal shelter in Tenerife. Additionally, we are seeking volunteers skilled in photography and videography. A minimum stay of 8 weeks is required.

Our volunteers enjoy free accommodation at the shelter’s finca during their stay. Please note that volunteers should not have pet allergies, as some rooms are shared with dogs and cats.

If you’re interested, simply send us the completed application form. We will check if we have a room available at the shelter and get back to you as soon as possible. However, all volunteer positions for 2026 have already been filled—so unfortunately, we cannot accept any further applications for this year.

International Youth Volunteer Service (IJFD)
You can also participate in the International Youth Volunteer Service (IJFD) with us—a government-funded volunteer program for young people aged 18 and older. The placement typically lasts 12 months and includes educational support. Together with our partner VIA e.V. https://www.via-ev.org/, we offer you this placement in animal welfare on Tenerife. You can find more information on the VIA e.V. website.

For a closer look at volunteering at the animal shelter, you can find testimonials from former volunteers here (German).

Further information can be found in our downloadable PDF (German / English).
