🐾 Your Skills Can Save Lives – Volunteer for Animals in Türkiye

Cur síos

Join our ESC volunteering project in Sinop, Türkiye, and turn your passion for animals into hands-on experience! 🐾

Volunteers will support the daily care and welfare of around 110 cats and several dogs living in our Patient Room, village house and garden. Tasks include feeding, cleaning, administering medication, parasite treatments, caring for sick, disabled and orphaned animals, and monitoring their health.

A key part of the activity takes place at Gerze Municipality Stray Animal Care Centre, where volunteers work alongside veterinary professionals and gain practical experience by observing and assisting with procedures such as examinations, treatments, spay/neuter surgeries and other operations.

This is an intensive, hands-on opportunity for veterinary students, young veterinarians and veterinary nurses who want to develop their skills while making a real difference in the lives of animals.

Volunteers will stay in a furnished shared house in Sinop with Wi-Fi, hot water, heating, kitchen, bed linen and basic household facilities. Long-term volunteers have a private room, while short-term volunteers may share. A daily food allowance of €6 and pocket money of €6 are provided in cash. Transport between Sinop and the activity locations in Gerze and Bektaşağa Village is covered by the organisation. International travel costs are reimbursed according to ESC rules upon submission of the required travel documents.

Volunteers receive hands-on veterinary training at Gerze Municipality Stray Animal Care Centre under professional veterinary supervision. They can develop practical skills through daily clinical work, including animal examination, treatment, medication, parasite control, pre- and post-operative care, and assistance during spay/neuter and other surgical procedures. Training is adapted to each volunteer’s existing knowledge and experience, allowing veterinary students and young professionals to strengthen their practical skills in real-life cases.
