Kamila

Hi, my name is Kamila and I'm currently studying for a master's degree at UHH.

When I was 8, I saw a stray dog near my place and I begged my parents for 5 days to adopt it. Finally, they agreed, and just like that a small black dog called Zhuzha joined our family. She was very scared, timid and...pregnant. We were as gentle as possible and after some time she finally felt safe and started showing her affection to us. We raised 3 healthy puppies and then found new homes for them. With Zhuzha we spent happy 13 years together, until she died in the beginning of 2018. After that my family didn’t want to even think about a new pet, because it was too hard for everyone. Nevertheless, 2 years ago we decided to foster one puppy named Charlie who was very skinny and sick. We fostered him for 3 months, gave him countless amount of ivs and injections, did everything for him to feel safe with people. Finally, we found a new home for him.

I know for sure that once I feel financially stable, I will have a pet for myself, because pets give me immeasurable amount of joy and happiness. But for now, being a pet-sitter for me is a wonderful alternative.
