Description
My name is Christina. I am German and I live im Sri Lanka since 2016. I have a dog care shelter together with a buddhist monk. The shelter is located on Bentota Beach and gives currently home to around 140 dogs. I live with my daughter Lana (3 years old) and my partner Keshan in a house around 3km distance from the beach. In our house we take care of dogs who are currently sick or recover from surgeries.
We rent another house in Maha Induruwa which is around 7km from Bentota and very close to the beach. In the big garden are around 35 dogs. Many of them are handicapped or sick.Types of help and learning opportunities
