  Description

  Hi everyone, my name is Gitti. We are an active farm with a garden, hay fields, and orchards. We work by training, raising, and growing up beautiful, healthy, and intelligent "man's best friend."
  
  *PLEASE NOTE THAT WE CANNOT TAKE WORKAWAYERS WITH ADDITIONAL DOGS, AS OUR YOUNGER DOGS ARE NOT COMFORTABLE WITH UNFAMILIAR/NEW ANIMALS*
  
  I am running a dog sanctuary, housing upwards to 17 dogs here in Markdale. I spend most of my time caring for the dogs, learning how to develop my own skills as a trainer, while maintaining my holistic practioning business on the side. The winter season looks drastically differ from the warmer climates, as we focus more on the garden when the weather permits.
  
  Now, we raise and train puppies to become wonderful and calm companions for humans. From my wonderful experience with my first Border Collie puppy, which was properly raised and trained four months with her entire dog family, I had the idea to do this as well with new puppies. I wanted to show how important it is for them to have time with their parents, to live with their siblings, and to be ready to spend the rest of their wonderful lives within a loving home. If you give them a chance, they easily learn how to behave, and make people happy. We believe that after at least four months and lots of patience, they will be the best companions. A dog who can develop the right way can be healing for us.
  
  Your support is greatly appreciated. Please consider Workawaying with us! You can have a great time with me learning how to do all these things. As well, I can share with you my experience as an international holistic practitioner, self-help methods, and if you are interested in learning, German! As we can practice together.
  
  Last year I grew the following herbs, vegetables, and fruit in my garden: tomatoes, yellow heirloom potatoes, red and green cabbage, salad greens, red beets, broccoli, carrots, peppers, parsley, cilantro, lovage, chives, lavendar, sage, peppermint, mint, chard, garlic, onions, thyme, oregano. I also had some flowers like tulips, primerose, cornflowers, Heather, daffodil. We also begun to plant an orchard with tree and bushes of apple, pear, plum, cherry, elderberry, peach, red and black currant, and raspberry. We're planning to expand it this year.
  
  We are near a town with stores and lots of attractions in the area where you can spend your time off. If needed, I can arrange with you to meet in Owen Sound, at the airport, or we can discuss alternatives when you contact me. I'm looking forward to hearing from you. Thank you.

  Since, I am very busy with the dogs, and my own business, it would be important that any workawayers that come take initiative. I will have tasks that I need help with, but it is up to you to make yourself busy :)
  
  Currently, I would need the most assistance in caring for the animals. Between letting the dogs out 3-4 times a day, walking them, feeding them and loving them, I would love the additional help!
  
  It would be great to have someone who is comfortable with cooking.
  
  I would love someone who is very familiar with social media. We have a Facebook, Youtube and Instagram account that I'm hoping can gain some traction, as we could use any extra income from donations to care for the animals, and eventually upgrade their shelter!
  
  Sometimes, we'll need help with construction and building.
  
  In spring I would need help in the orchard and garden, to prepare vegetable fields and to build a tree house.
