Sugar's House : Sanctuary for Rescue Dogs on Bologna's hills

Welcome to the Sugar's House, a Soul Sanctuary to move, breathe and transform your body and your soul.
I believe that we can get more out of life by stepping outside of our comfort zone and into our growth zone!
One of the six fundamental human needs we all need to fulfil at some level is growth!
One of the skills I learn to master in life is being comfortably uncomfortable and having the determination to succeed.
With increased levels of focus, self-confidence and belief, we make stuff happen, we become a productivity ninja, doing things we never thought possible and achieving goals that were just dreams.
Helping, healing, taking care of animals, giving myself to them, learning from them, living with them, helps me to transform myself and bring more light and consciousness in my life.

This is the perfect place to strengthen my body, mind and soul while enjoying a piece of Paradise on a hill called San Lorenzo in Collina of the city of Bologna just 13 miles away from its medieval downtown.

The travellers need to be very strong nature and animal lovers because the private house hosts rescue animals such as dogs, cats and chickens and it's immersed in the typical Italian atmosphere in one of the best places in this country on the Bologna's hills.

The volunteer will have to live and share the house with 25 beautiful loving indoor dogs!

I am a volunteer and a host, I like helping people and animals. I've rescued abandoned and abused animals to give them love, a house instead of a shelter and a family which is why the dogs and I live in the same house.

I'm interested in meeting people from different countries, sharing cultures, learning from them and training my soul.

I enjoy spending my free time in the marvellous natural places I'm surrounded by, doing several outdoor activities with friends as hiking, running, wine tasting and visiting other cities. My guests are always welcome to join me in my sports and outdoor activities .

The area is famous for nature itineraries, biking, hiking and vineyards.

In the property outside the house, there are also 6 cats, 4 rabbits and 10 chickens We are a large family! I love hosting people and learning from them, the place is also a B&B and I'm willing to host volunteers that want to share their skills, build proactive relationships, are willing to be givers and want to create a solid deep bond and connection with me, with other people and with all my animals. Volunteers that can help me in everything, from the outside to the house, sharing my tasks. I live in the house and I always have guests around sharing spaces. Food offered will be what we eat in the family such as seasonal local fruit and veggies, eggs from our free run chickens, plant based milks and a plant based diet.
