Project details
Travel to Argentina and gain valuable veterinary experience by caring for animals in need. Assist at a local dog shelter and shadow a veterinarian in a clinic. Make a meaningful impact while building your CV. You’ll help support animals that have suffered abuse and neglect, working in a city known for its vibrant culture. Perfect for those passionate about animal care and eager to learn.
Gain hands-on experience in veterinary medicine and animal care while making a real impact on the lives of animals in need. Travel to Argentina and contribute to the well-being of domestic animals that have been neglected, abused, or abandoned. In this volunteer program, you’ll split your time between a local dog shelter and a veterinary clinic, giving you diverse exposure to animal care and rehabilitation.
At the shelter, you’ll help care for dogs that have been mistreated or neglected, providing them with food, companionship, and attention. You’ll also assist in improving their living conditions, contributing to their recovery and preparing them for adoption. Your role will involve tasks such as cleaning, feeding, administering basic care, and finding foster homes for dogs and cats.
At the veterinary clinic, you’ll shadow a local vet and observe daily procedures, gaining valuable insight into veterinary practices. This is an excellent opportunity to build your skills in animal care while seeing how veterinary medicine is practiced in a different cultural setting. You will learn about diagnosing and treating common ailments in domestic animals, performing check-ups, and understanding post-treatment care.
This program is perfect for anyone looking to build a career in veterinary medicine or animal welfare, as it offers practical experience in both a clinical and shelter environment. You’ll not only enhance your CV but also contribute to solving the challenges of under-resourced animal care facilities in Argentina. Your support will be instrumental in helping these facilities provide better care for the animals they rescue.
Start dates for this project are flexible, and the minimum duration is just one week, making it accessible even for those with limited time. Whether you’re an aspiring veterinarian, an animal lover, or someone eager to make a difference, this program offers a fulfilling and transformative experience.

Where in Argentina will I work?
Located in Córdoba, a vibrant city known for its natural beauty and lively cultural scene, your volunteering experience will be enriched by the local atmosphere. Córdoba is Argentina’s second-largest city, offering a dynamic mix of indigenous, Italian, Spanish, and European influences. When you’re not volunteering, you can explore the city’s colorful street art and lively festivities, adding to your memorable experience.
Food and accommodation
You will stay with a host family in Córdoba. They will welcome you into their home and will be happy to share their customs and learn about your culture. We believe that this is the best way to immerse yourself in the Argentine lifestyle and have a truly unique experience. Your room will be simple, but comfortable, clean and safe. The cost of the program includes three meals a day.
Leisure
Argentina is a vibrant South American country full of colours and cultural heritage. As well as contributing to worthwhile projects, travelling to Argentina with us means you’ll be able to explore this fascinating country. Spend the afternoon enjoying a coffee in Plaza San Martín, with its street artists and its iconic statue of General José de San Martín. You can take a weekend trip to the mountains. The surrounding nature is impressive and a horseback ride through the nature trails is also worthwhile. There are cultural experiences, such as the Evita Superior Museum of Fine Arts or the Teatro del Libertador General San Martín. You can also learn about the country’s history at local museums and visit the birthplace of Che Guevara. There are probably other volunteers in Argentina, so you can explore on your own or with a group of volunteers from different projects.
What recent volunteers said about their Mondify experience
Spanish language lessons
Fluency in Spanish is not a prerequisite for participating in Mondify’s programs in Córdoba, Argentina. However, certain projects may have limitations for volunteers with limited language proficiency. Therefore, Mondify strongly recommends that volunteers take advantage of the affordable Spanish courses offered exclusively to program participants. Previous volunteers have found that these classes significantly enhance day-to-day volunteer work and facilitate communication with local communities. Taught by professional Spanish instructors and tailored to each individual’s specific needs, the classes vary in duration and intensity. For instance, the Dynamic Spanish Immersion Course includes 25 group classes per week, totaling 3 hours and 45 minutes daily, while the Rapid Language Mastery Program offers 37 group classes per week, with 5 hours and 30 minutes of daily instruction. These lessons are arranged with your Mondify Program Manager prior to departure.
