Become A Volunteer

Helping Paws Wanted!

We are looking for volunteers to care for our dogs at the Rescue Paws Center in Curaçao! If you’re available occasionally, either in the morning or afternoon, and want to contribute to reducing the suffering of dogs on the island, please sign up below!

Tasks include:

– Feeding the dogs
– Cleaning the kennels
– Cuddling puppies
– Walking the dogs

Besides being meaningful, it’s also a lot of fun! Join our enthusiastic group of volunteers. We work in the mornings from 8:30 AM to 12:00 PM and during the Puppy Round in the afternoons from 4:30 PM to 6:00 PM.

Besides the daily cleaning, there are a few special tasks where you might be able to help. These include:

– Veterinary visits
– Running errands
– Taking dogs to Hato (the airport)
– Taking photos and videos of the dogs for adopters and social media

Who are we looking for?

We are looking for people aged 16 and older who are able and willing to help and who have a love for dogs. It doesn’t matter what your background. Maybe you recognize yourself in one of the following profiles:

  1. I live on the island and would like to help at least three times

  2. I am on vacation on the island and can help at least three times

  3. I am looking for an internship and am in search of a great adventure

Fill out the form below, and we will get in touch with you.

This video is in Dutch, but you are more than welcome as an English speaker at our center.

Staying on the island

Unfortunately, we cannot offer an internship allowance or reimburse tickets. We are a foundation, and we want to ensure that the money we receive through donations or adoptions directly benefits the dogs.

Here are a few tips for affordable accommodations and car rentals::

1. Take a look at Don Genaro, for example. They offer apartments at significantly reduced rates for our volunteers.
2. Vacation apartments at Na Kas also offer special rates for our volunteers!
3. Another tip for affordable accommodation for our volunteers is Mi Ka Dushi.
4. Want to stay for a longer period? Find a room or apartment at Huisvesting Curaçao or Curaçao-huisvesting.
5. You can rent a car at a good price from Studenten Autoverhuur.
