    Description

    Hi, I am an independent dog rescue here in south east bulgaria. I also have cats and chickens.My plan was to retire here with my 13 dogs that i brought with me from the uk.[5 of which are spanish rescues] I just wanted more space and good weather.
    I love all animals but my dogs are my life. I have ended up with far more than i intended, but, I cannot turn away an old sick or needy dog.I send some of the dogs back to the uk when funds are available. I fundraise by asking for and collecting donations from other expats.
    Bulgaria is a lovely place , it has beautiful countryside. I live on top of a hill in a three storey house that was a `lookout `during the war. You can see for miles from my little turret window. There are lovely walks all around here and nearby in forests teaming with deer.
    I am medically trained and have to treat and medicate my own animals on a regular basis. Anyone who is in some kind of animal care training would be perfect , having said that my wealth of knowledge is waiting to be passed on if necessary.
