Since being founded in 1992, we have grown to a team of 130 people around the world that sends 2000 volunteers annually. Volunteers can go at any time, for as long as they wish. Situated in the center of Guadalajara, we work in a special hospital for wild and domestic animals. The center works in conjunction with Proteccion Civil - the local emergency service - who deliver injured, mistreated and abandoned animals to the center, either for permanent residence and care, or as part of a rehabilitation process before they are released back into the wild. There is a focus on birds (such as falcons, eagles, toucans, parrots and owls) and reptiles, but a range of other animals also live at the center. You will be feeding the animals, and cleaning and repairing enclosures. Volunteers also have the chance to assist the specialists in retraining the animals to hunt, fly and live independently.
