Why should you become an AARRC volunteer

Our dogs and cats are waiting for someone just like you to give them the love and affection they need to become sociable and adoptable.

What other volunteers say?

I'm Berta, I was volunteer for two weeks in AARRC, and I enjoyed to much the experience. I fell in love with all the animals there. I took care of the kitties and we walked the dogs. I had amazing days there. I absolutely recomend to everyone!

When I first decided to volunteer as a vet in the Philippines it was a bit of a shock to find how few rescue centres there were! Luckily I found AARRC and got to spend 2 weeks neutering cats and dogs as part of their neutering project. The team at AARRC work day and night saving animals! Michel is incredibly dedicated and passionate about animals and is making a huge difference to the welfare of animals in Aklan and beyond! I hope to return one day when the new shelter has been finished. Thank you for a fabulous volunteering project! Keep up the fantastic work!

As an animal lover I've always wanted to do some kind of volunteer work in that area. While I was traveling I met a wonderful lady vet who was going to volunteer in Aklan for AARRC and asked if I'd like to help out. I jumped at the chance and it was an experience I'll never forget. We joined them for 2 weeks on their neutering project for both cats and dogs. AARRC are a real team of people who strive everyday to protect the animals of Aklan, they go above and beyond. They have an amazing home full of animals and an equally amazing shelter. Michael has so much passion for his cause and it shows in the animals. I was very lucky and very proud to be a small part of such amazing family run charity. Keep up the fantastic work <3
