Dog Walking Volunteer Experience at Triple A Marbella Animal Shelter

Join a guided dog walking activity at Triple A Marbella, the largest animal shelter on the Costa del Sol. This experience suits dog lovers aged 16 and older who are comfortable with large, energetic dogs.

Activity Overview

Help walk the shelter’s dogs through natural trails around the shelter. Volunteers support daily walks for over 200 dogs, providing exercise and companionship to animals in need. The activity offers outdoor exercise, social interaction, and meaningful involvement with rescue dogs.

Experienced volunteers guide each walk to ensure safety and enjoyment. No prior experience is needed—only a genuine care for dogs and a responsible attitude. Dogs may be strong and untrained, so volunteers must handle pulls, jumps, and lively behavior.

Walks last approximately 30 minutes and include time in fenced dog parks where dogs can run freely. Group walks are organized based on dog compatibility, and visitors can stay together if arriving as a group. Additional walks with different dogs are possible after your first round.
