Description
I run an animal rescue in a village in the foothills of the Himalayas. I have 19 rescued dogs and 10 cats at present. A few are special needs, a few senior abandoned pets and the rest are healthy females who never got adopted bcz of their gender. All these animals live at home with me, we do not have kennels or cages. I also have a small sterilisation center on my property where visiting vets from nearby cities perform spay and neuter surgeries for street and community animals, as well as pets from low income village homes. I also rescue any animal in the vicinity and try and vaccinate any new pups we find. I try and live a simple life and provide the best care to the animals with me. My place is in a valley next to a little stream and it's away from the main village.
Types of help and learning opportunities
Gardening
Animal Care
General Maintenance
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Visitors will be able to get a glimpse of how I provide care to multiple animals in the absence of veterinary services. You will experience holistic healing and non coersive training methods that I use for the well being of my animals. We may go for rescues and we may also prepare and work with visiting vets to get animals sterilised during your time here.
Help
I am looking for someone to come and stay with me and help with the daily grooming, walking, and feeding of the animals. Apart from this I am in the process of making my tiny home more comfortable for my animals so a bit of painting, upholstering cat furniture, repairing dog beds etc. A bit of help with gardening will also be great.

Accommodation
The stay will be in my home. We have two rooms. Downstairs is for the dogs, and upstairs is for cats, you can choose where you want to stay. Food will be simple home cooked vegetarian fare that I cook, but if visitors want to eat anything else they can use my kitchen to cook. Restaurants and ordering in are not available here.
What else ...
Helpers can go for walks or bird watching. There is not much to do in this village in terms of sightseeing. Transportation is shared jeeps that run between here and the nearest town, 15kms away.
