  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  My location is desirable being in the middle of what was originally a small Mexican fishing village. It is close to other villages and only an hour from Guadalajara.
  This community has many artists and holistic minded people. If you were looking for a holistic Healer, this is the place.
  
  If you like dogs and want to help them, this is a great opportunity to make a difference. There are so many street dogs many of whom get along, some of whom live in abysmal conditions.
  While we can’t save them all I think to save some of the seniors and provide them with the dignity they have never known at their end of life.
  If you’re interested in being part of this, let’s talk.

  Help

  I have been fostering dogs for about a decade. Along the way I have acquired some hard to place dogs and currently have five of my own and an occasional foster.
  I am looking for someone who loves dogs, doesn’t mind barking and can on occasion help
  I am working with two other women to establish a sanctuary to house senior street dogs. Many dogs live on the street successfully, but even those that have managed have difficulty as they age.
  We currently are caring for 4 elderly former street dogs. One is blind, two have cancer, and one is healing from an horrific skin condition.
  Because this project will be on an established facility, most of the infrastructure currently exists.
  We need someone who is skilled at marketing and social media savvy.
  We hope to improve our outreach to potential donors both in our community and beyond.
  I live on a good size property in the middle of a small Mexican village in Central Mexico. I have two gardeners, but there is plenty that can be tended to by someone who likes to garden.
  I am not looking for a companion, but compatibility is important. Speaking English is critical.
  There is plenty of room for a couple. I am hoping for a long term commitment.

Although it would be nice to occasionally have help with my own dogs, my priority now is marketing our sanctuary for senior street dogs.
