Was very nice to host Emil here ! We really enjoyed meeting him and sharing our knowledge with him.
Emil arrived during an overwhelming working period and sometimes the days where very chaotic due to the amount of things we had to do at the Sanctuary. I was afraid that this would’ve scared him, being him at his first experience in such a big… read more

Hi Dea&CO. Thanks for a stay full of interesting, adventurous experiences. No days were boring. Getting to know the project and animals over time with increasing trust and responsibility for the tasks made me more and more grateful as my stay went. The best for the animals always in focus, with love and compassion, I loved that. Hard work, often… read more

Recently spent about three weeks at Elsie's. She accepted me coming on short notice and I felt welcome and at home from the first moment arriving. Day by day was very relaxing in many ways, except the essential work of feeding the animals and maintain the fences standing around the labyrinth, it was mostly up to me when or what I feel like doing.… read more

Preliminary. Emil is a good one. He works hard, is in a good mood and is not afraid to take on new tasks. He plays the guitar well. Loves bonfires and meets you friendly. There is almost nothing to criticize. Just at the end we had a very unpleasant encounter. We took over a bottle lamb. That only worked with the team. So I asked everyone.… read more

The 2 months I spent at Anke's sanctuary were overall great, taking with me from there wonderful memories and experiences. The time was packed with events and the work was generally meaningful. Twelve lambs + one big grandma joining the herd of sheep, new roof laid on the old house, donkeys steadily increasing skills to become ready for the… read more

First experience working in a dog-shelter, and here you get real hands on work from the first day. It was challenging, but also great. Felt how much I grew everyday of my month stay and left a total new knowledge how to be around dogs. The days could be quite intense, for me it was mostly good, but its not for everyone. The people working day in… read more

What should I say - Emil is a very nice, smart, interesting guy! The work he did was always well done, quick and good in quality. The animals loved him also a lot, he sang some chirstmassongs for the sheep, played with the dog and took care for the ducks. I enjoyed the conversations a lot and also the spirit, he brought in our home.
Thanks a lot… read more

The two weeks on Heidi and Martin’s little farm was filled with a good variation of work, interesting conversation, healthy & tasty food and good relaxation. It was spot on for me, after two1/2 month on bicycle, also left the bike there for its winter sleep.
It was always plenty of tasks on the table, so even though the days was short, we were… read more
