  Beschreibung

  Calling all animal lovers! We are an animal rescue and farm sanctuary located in south central Pennsylvania. We have 54 rescue animals (and counting) at this time. Inside the main home we have dogs, cats and a rabbit. We are non smokers and need you to be as well.
  
  We seek those who have who have a “can do” kind of attitude, self motivated and willingness to help. We are maintaining, constantly growing and improving the property. We need helpful volunteers who have any of the following skills: paint, build, fence, design compost areas, help with excavation/digging, helping to improve the animal houses, people with do it yourself (DIY) skills, feed/water and care for the rescue animals, or any other skill you feel may be valuable. *Your most important task will be helping with animal care. Once you know how, the animals must be let out, fed and watered by 8am at the latest; earlier is okay but no later than 8am. This only takes about 30 minutes.*
  
  Our home is our sanctuary. Not only is it our personal sanctuary for peace but also a literal sanctuary to many, many rescue animals. We maintain a relaxed and respectful vibe. This means not only to each other but also to the animals of this sanctuary. There will be no tolerance for being unkind or disrespectful to the animals. You may not be rough with them, call them names or yell at them. It will not be tolerated. At this property, the animals are more important than the humans. They depend on us for love, care and support.
  
  We will provide (or we will cook together) at least one meal a day and self-serve breakfast foods are available. Mostly plant based eating as one of us is vegan/vegetarian. There will be limited eggs, cheese, meat or other dairy products. Those that don’t cook help with cleanup and dishes.
  
  Absolutely no smoking indoors or outdoors. This is a 100% completely smoke free property. Since this is a sanctuary open to the public, it is against Pennsylvania law to smoke or vape anywhere on the property or within 20 feet of the entrance. Additionally, one of us has asthma and we both find the scent of smoke on your person or clothing is intolerable. No partying. No drugs or pills. Very limited drinking is okay. One of us does not drink at all and the other has a drink occasionally. Additionally, in the United States it is the cultural norm to bathe daily, wear deodorant and maintain good hygiene. If your culture teaches you that your natural odor is pleasant or acceptable, please understand that this is not the standard in the United States; you must bathe regularly, wear deodorant and keep yourself and your space clean.
  
  Please do not come here with the intentions of partying or being glued to your phone all day. There is a strict quiet time of 10pm (22:00) where we all go to our separate rooms for the night to relax, watch tv or go to sleep. You cannot come in or out after this time and if you want to go out on your own we need to coordinate it to fit the needs of the sanctuary.
  
  We are not far from: Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington DC, and only a few hours from New York City. We are willing to take you to some areas as time and animal needs allow.
  
  Depending on what type of weather you prefer; it is warmer with no snow from about 20 March to 15 November and it is cooler with the possibility of snow from about 16 November to 19 March. Help is needed year round.
  
  Availability: Negotiable
  Duration of stay: Very open
  Maximum number of helpers: Prefer 1 at a time but 2 or more may be possible.
