​​A dog haven is different from the typical animal shelter. These dogs are either too old or too sick or disabled to likely be adopted anymore unless a recovery intervention takes place.  Most of these dogs will live out the rest of their lives in this private facility 100% supported by volunteers. With some creativity and determination, it is still possible to provide them with extended healthy lives.  Volunteers/interns may experience all aspects of animal shelter management.

Reviews

We love the concept of Minga House Foundation!  
Travel with a purpose! Colombia's Coffee Region is one of the most beautiful places on Earth; and Colombia is the 2nd most bio-diverse country in the world, next to Brazil. I love Colombia, my year-round Spring weather paradise.
