    Description

    With a group of volunteers, I run a small doghome. We take in dogs that have no other place to go, due to their age, mental state or health issues. They stay with us for the rest of their lives and we try to give them the best care possible. We also foster litters of orphaned pups every now and then. This takes up a lot of time, and since I also have a lot of other animals (donkeys, sheep, goats) I could use hand, not only with the dogs, but also with everything else that needs attention (maintaining fences etc.) Bedroom available and healthy vegetarian meals.
    An opportunity to learn a lot about all kinds of animals, french, english or dutch spoken.

There will be plenty of time to explore (although you would need a car,.) the region, visit the lovely medieval villages and towns of the Midi Pyrénées or just stay home and enjoy the peace and quiet,.(though dogs will be dogs, so will bark a bit!)
