Jelena and Sebastijan
We are asking please if you can immediately give your financial support to Jelena who runs a No Kill shelter in Serbia.
Jelena’s shelter now has over 400 dogs in its care. Last week, ten dogs were taken away from the local pound back to the shelter, whilst several others were rescued from the streets. As many female (Bitch) dogs were taken as possible, because when the bitches are un-sterilised and when ‘in heat’, they naturally attract the attention of many male dogs; the results of these meetings being many, many more dogs being born onto the streets destined for capture, suffering in pounds and eventual killing by the local authorities and government policies.
Some of the dogs taken last week from the Pound, now safe at Jelena’s shelter.
Many of the dogs which end up at the pound are not complete ‘strays’, but are dogs which are owned, but who have irresponsible owners who do not bother to have their animals sterilised, who simply do not care about what their animals do and simply turn them out onto the street every day to produce more animals which add to the population problem.
If their dogs are captured by the authorities and taken to the pound, then quite often the owners will not bother to go to the pound to recover their animals. These animals regularly end up being killed as a result of the current no sense policies which the government and authorities have towards animal population controls.
By rescuing some animals from the pounds, Jelena’s shelter provides a safe haven and a place of regular food and loving for the very lucky animals that are fortunate enough to go there. The shelter is a PLACE OF LIFE as opposed to the authorities pounds – places of death !!
But the shelter cannot exist on good will alone;
FINANCE IS REQUESTED FROM YOU please to provide daily help to the animals in the way of food, a sterilisation programme and the construction of additional enclosures for the rescued animals. For example, over 250 loaves of bread have to be purchased daily to be mixed with other food which is being provided as a regular diet to the dogs at the shelter.
PLEASE, PLEASE give a donation or regular support to Jelena’s shelter NOW.
The following statement sums up the irresponsible attitude and thinking of the Serbian government and the regional / local authorities:
“While the local government gave 5 million dinars for killing of strays for this year, we got 20,000 dinars from Medijana Borough to pay the bread bill and 24,000 dinars from Palilula Borough to neuter a few females”.
