Horse shelter in Argentina

Program description

There's no denying that animals are one of the greatest gifts to humanity, and for good reason. Unlike humans, they don't judge or discriminate, providing us with unwavering companionship and support. They won't cause any harm unless provoked or mistreated, and they ask for nothing more than our loyalty and care in return.

But it gets even better. The Director of this animal shelter isn't just any ordinary animal lover - she's a specialized lawyer in animal protection and a respected professor of animal rights at the prestigious University of Cordoba. As a volunteer in this project, you'll have the opportunity to learn from her vast knowledge and expertise in animal welfare. So come join us and discover the true beauty and worth of these incredible creatures!

Since 2011 the Horse Shelter serves as a sanctuary for CĂłrdoba's abandoned, abused and neglected horses. In CĂłrdoba is very common that horses are used to collect recyclable garbage from the streets such us cardboard and plastics to sell it to recycling companies. This job is usually performed by people who doesn't have enough money/education to feed and give good care to the horses. Many of them are found malnourished and very sick. On this shelter rescued horses will be rehabilitated and adopted out whenever possible to environments that support their well-being and future long-term care.

Volunteer Duties

Volunteers work with staff to build a team that helps care for our horses:

-checking all horses

-nurturing the horses

-give the medication if needed

- help the veterinarian during treatments

-grooming

doing maintenance of the ranch, etc

We maintain a healthy feeding regimen and provide veterinary and farrier care. We aim to exercise our horses when appropriate. We utilize our training program to get them ready for adoption to carefully screened new owners.
