Our head keeper Vessy has returned from a 2-week working practice in a Dutch shelter.  Sharing knowledge and learning from others’ experience is the way to achieve efficiency and improve our quality of work. We are thankfull to De Reddingsboei – in Geleen who gave Vessy the wonderful opportunity of working in their environment.

Vessy helping the ambulance vets in Geleen

Vessy was able to work in all fields – cleaning, walking, feeding, socializing the dogs; helping the ambulance vets to bring injured or ill animals to the shelter clinic. She had a very inspiring experience and came back to us full of energy.

Vessy’s profound experience with animals was of use in Geleen

Cleaning is a whole lot different in Holland and in Bulgaria 🙂

Besides having a great time in the shelter Vessy had a surprise meeting with a few dogs adopted in Sittard-Geleen through Animal Rescue Sofia. Animal Rescue Sofia supporters Birgitta and Karin organized the owners of Eppie, Joe and Mommo for a group walk, she also met a boy she fostered for a long time – the former Seslavci death-roll boy we used to call Patch.

Special thanks to Karin Stramans who housed Vessy during her stay in Holland!
