ANIMAL CARE

CODE: VINLMTV24-12-A

Work:

In the Animal Care project people care for animals and animals care for people. The project aims to pro- mote and protect some of the most vulnerable animals in Nepal, especially dogs. The project is much more than a shelter for animals in that it practices and promotes caring and friendly behavior towards animals. We are looking for those whose hearts are warm and loving, and beat for the welfare of the neglected animals of Nepal.
