Join us with Rescue Dogs in Romanian countryside, Bucharest, Romania

Details

  Description

  I live in a village called Runcu (Gorj county) next to beautiful Sohodol Valley, along with my rescue dogs.
  
  There are many abandoned dogs in Romania and my area makes no exception. I have 7 rescues at the moment, but at times we have more (I had up to 12 dogs at a time). I rescue them, get them vaccinated and dewormed and prepare all their documents for adoption abroad (usually Germany). This is a full time job as it is, so I could use a helping hand at times. I also want to do some traveling, which I greatly miss, and I would love to have someone to stay for a while here while I travel.
  
  I am looking for people that LOVE dogs and genuinely LOVE to spend time with them.
  
  Feeding, playing, cleaning, these are some daily tasks that I need help with. I don't walk them around there, they have a pretty big yard for themselves, but we can take them out for a walk in the forest or a bath in a river from time to time.
  
  The longer you can stay, the better for us.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  If you are interested in traveling and personal development, you will love the time spent together. I used to be a flight attendant, and altough I am not traveling at the moment, we can share our travel stories to one another. I love all personal development, I love yoga, meditation, tai chi, qi gong, I also used to practice Reiki and Theta Healing, so if you are interested in any of these, it would be my pleasure to share my knowledge with you, even do some coaching if you'd like that. I can teach you some Romanian or we can practice English if you need it. Your English might be better than mine though, so perhaps I'll practice with you :P
  I wouldn't mind learning your language either, I would actually love that. If you speak Spanish, French or Italian, I know a bit and would love to practice with you.
  
  I live in Bucharest so you can explore the city, I can even give you access to my car if you have a valid driving license and depends on your experience and confidence.
  We can travel together to the sea side (Black Sea), Brasov or anywhere in Romania, depends how long you will stay for and what my plans are at that moment.

  Accommodation

  I live in a small house with two rooms, one kitchen and one bathroom
  you will have your own bedroom and we share the rest of the common spaces, including the bathroom
  The bedroom doesn't have exterior windows, only a window to the hallway, just in case you're claustrophobic

  What else ...

  I prefer non-smokers please, and no heavy drinking people, as I do not drink much and hate the smell of alcohol and cigarettes.
  We are non vegetarian and we cook meat.
  You need to really love animals. The dogs really matter to me a lot and they are my priority, I expect you to care for animals genuinely and deeply.
