Volunteer opportunity with GASAH: Help animals in need on the Island of Kos

We came across this new June 2026 volunteer call from Gasah Greek and Swiss Animal Help (GASAH) through our Facebook group and thought it could be useful to share it here again for people interested in animal welfare, shelter life and practical volunteering on the island of Kos, Greece.

GASAH is an animal welfare organisation working on Kos, supporting animals through daily care, rescue-related tasks, veterinary visits and the everyday work needed to keep the shelter running.

Volunteer with GASAH on Kos island

The animal shelter is located on the beautiful island of Kos, Greece, known for its beaches, ancient sites and welcoming local atmosphere. This opportunity may suit volunteers who enjoy practical outdoor work, animal care and simple daily routines around a shelter environment.

Volunteer activities

The work is varied and can include cleaning, feeding, daily care, veterinary visits, socialisation and many other everyday tasks around the animals. Volunteers should be ready for practical work and understand that animal shelter life can be rewarding but also physically and emotionally demanding.

Depending on the needs of the team, volunteers may help with:

• Feeding and general animal care
• Cleaning animal areas and keeping spaces safe and hygienic
• Helping with daily routines at the shelter
• Supporting socialisation and enrichment for the animals
• Assisting with veterinary visits and other practical tasks when needed

Practical conditions

The previous call shared by GASAH mentioned that accommodation and food were included for volunteers. Since the latest post focuses mainly on the June 2026 volunteer search, please confirm the current conditions directly with the host before making travel plans, including accommodation, meals, working hours, days off, minimum stay and insurance.

Volunteers should also check visa and entry rules for Greece according to their nationality. Hosts cannot provide legal work permits, so it is important to understand what kind of stay is allowed before travelling.
