Global animal sanctuary volunteer programs

Overview

Animal sanctuaries in Hawaii, Greece, and New Zealand continue to offer volunteer programs providing free accommodation in exchange for animal care duties.

In Hawaii, Selah’s Pig Sanctuary in Keaau offers a work exchange for volunteers to assist with pig rescue operations. Participants are required to work 20 hours per week, performing tasks such as feeding, monitoring animal health, and facility maintenance. The sanctuary provides on-site lodging in a cabin with electricity and internet access through late 2026, though volunteers must cover their own food, transportation, and travel costs.

On the Greek island of Syros, God’s Little People Cat Rescue is scheduled to open applications in September for its 2027 season. Volunteers will provide approximately five hours of daily care for cats, including feeding and cleaning. While accommodation is provided at no cost, personal expenses and travel are the responsibility of the volunteer.

In New Zealand, Kind Farm in the Cardrona Valley is seeking international volunteers to care for various rescued animals, including horses, sheep, pigs, and birds. Responsibilities include grooming, cleaning stables, and gardening. The sanctuary, located near Wanaka and Queenstown, provides free lodging on the premises. Prospective participants are advised to secure international medical insurance and verify New Zealand’s migratory requirements before arrival.
