Addis House @ Winterthur

Hi my name is Addis! I come from Mexico and I’ve living in Switzerland for a year now. I love animals since I grew up surrounded by them, my family has a ranch in a small village back in Mexico, and I had a cats and dogs shelter my self at home when I was 19 due the situation of street animals in Mexico, I rescued them from streets and in case the where injured or pregnant I used donations from friends to feed them and taking the to vet, doing low cost Sterilization campaigns so people with low resources could bring their pets and fight the problem of street animals. I make sure that they have a family to live them and take care of them. Unfortunately I didn’t have the opportunity of studying veterinary or something related to animal care but I love them, I’ve had every kind of pets.
Back in Mexico in the shelter I took care of dogs and cats, but since my family have a ranch I took care of all animals as well, such as: ducks, chickens, sheeps, cows, turtles, birds, donkeys, horses, pigs, etc.sometimes I even help them to give birth and learned how to provide them their shots and vitamins.
I have a lot of experience with animals, I grew up with them and I understand how important they’re for their families, I would be happy to take care of your beloved pet as good as you do and how they deserves with lots of love and responsibility.
For me the contact with animals is so unique, like having a convection with someone that can’t talk but says everything with their eyes, they’re so noble and that’s what I love about it, they’re great company and for me is natural to be around them. I enjoy going for walks so if you have a doggie that likes that too, it’s the best fit.
