Goal of the Activity

A long-term project to promote volunteering with dogs!

Description

It is with great pleasure that ESN Lisboa continues its partnership Casa dos Animais de Lisboa (CAL)! 🐶🐱

Hands4Paws is a long-term project promoted by Erasmus Student Network Lisboa aiming to take our international students to a local dog shelter. This project has been one of ESN Lisboa's flags for some years now.

CAL is a local center that collects and gives rehabilitation to abandoned cats and dogs, as well as an adoption center to find them new and loving homes. Currently, CAL has around 200 dogs and 150 cats seeking love and attention.

In this event, our international students are able to volunteer while on exchange, by doing fun walks with human's best friends, experience the occasional bath time and having an overall great time with lots of love and cuddles from these furry creatures!
