Where in the North of Spain could I volunteer to work in an animal shelter?

Question

I'm looking to volunteer in an animal shelter in Spain for 7-19 days around the start of November. I've looked all over the net, and all I can seem to find are places to volunteer with children/the disabled, or volunteer placements that you need to pay for.

One place I have found is 'The Nerja donkey sanctuary' but it is in Alicante at the bottom of Spain.

I'm 20, and will be driving from England down through France.

Thanks all!

I can not tell you an specific place, but you could look something  along the lines of "Refugio de Animales" or "Sociedad Protectora de Animales".

Nonetheless, I would be surprised that you'd be able to volunteer for such a short period of time. Generally volunteers are required to have a longer commitment and may require some immunization.

In terms of provinces for you to look I would go for Huesca(not coastal), Cantabria or Asturias(both are pretty strong on coastal animals as well as preservation of forests -and hence bears, foxes, etc). Oh, and there's a small zoo in Cantabria (sorry forgot the name of it) that may also be helpful for you. Best of luck
