Welcome to Amazon Shelter.

Come and help our work at Amazon Shelter!
We rehabilitate a variety of animals from Howler and Capuchin Monkeys to bigger mammals like Red Brocket Deer, Peccary and Tapir and a number of different bird species, including large Macaws, Parrots and Parakeets. Every animal received goes through rigorous health checks and we create healthy diets specific to each animal that we care for. Once they are healthy we then prepare them for release into the wild.
“The work Amazon Shelter are doing is amazing. It’s so important and as a volunteer you really feel like you are making a difference. ”
