    Description

    Life on the North Sea. We are Kirsten, 60 years old, working full-time and me, Andreas, 62 years old, early retiree. We have a non-profit association for dogs that lived in killing centers. We mainly get dogs from Poland, Slovakia and Hungary. We also take dogs from animal shelters in Germany or dogs that have been treated badly and are enjoying their retirement with us. Also our cat Nolly belongs to the family. We are looking for someone who will not only actively support us with the dogs, we also want to create around 1000 square meters of garden and have to maintain 2000 square meters. We urgently need help. Of course we offer you your own apartment. So that you can stay away from the furry friends at any time. We do not have a connection to public transport. But you have a car at your disposal for short distances (minimum age 25 years) and a bicycle. The nearest train station is 7 km away. Although we are older, we are young at heart and are already looking forward to your applications.

    Leben an der Nordsee . Wir, das sind Kirsten 60 Jahre, vollzeit berufstätig und ich Frührentner 62 Jahre. Wir haben einen gemeinnützigen Verein für Hunde, die in Tötungsstationen lebten. Überwiegend holen wir Hunde aus Polen, der Slowakai sowie aus Ungarn. Wir nehmen auch Hunde aus Tierheimen in Deutschland auf, die austherapiert sind und bei uns ihren Lebensabend genießen. Außerdem gehört Kater Nolly zur Familie. Wir suchen auf diesem Wege jemanden, der uns nicht nur bei den Hunden tatkräftigt unterstützt, wir wollen auch ca. 1000 qm Garten anlegen und müssen 2000 qm pflegen. Wir brauchen dringend Hilfe. Selbstverständlich bieten wir Euch eine eigene Wohnung an. So dass ihr jeder Zeit von den Fellnasen Abstand nehmen könnt. Eine Anbindung an die öffentlichen Verkehrsmittel haben wir nicht. Aber es steht Euch ein Auto, für kurze Strecken, zur Verfügung (Mindestalter 25 Jahre) und ein Fahrrad. Zum nächsten Bahnhof sind es 7 km. Wir sind zwar älteres Semester aber im Kopf jung gebieben und freuen uns jetzt schon auf Eure Bewerbungen.
