Serbia: ‘Minnie’ Finds a New Home for Christmas in Belgium

A very happy message sent to us from Jean Bird (Uk) –

Minnie at the Nis shelter

A HOME FOR CHRISTMAS!

Little old Minnie has been at the shelter in Nis for several years (and as we all know older dogs are hard to re-home),

A lovely kind lady in Belgium wanted to adopt an older dog and Minnie has been chosen. 

She is now on her way to a new life of warm fires, cosy beds, lovely walks and lots and lots of love! 

This heartwarming story is a testament to the wonderful people who work so hard for the dogs and cats and makes these miracles happen.

“For all the weary little paws that walk the earth today”.

Serbia; After the ‘Bucket Pups’ Now Come the ‘Magnificent Seven’

Further to the recent appeal for the ‘bucket pups’, Jelena has now been left with an additional ‘Magnificent Seven’ pups which were left at her shelter.

https://serbiananimalsvoice.wordpress.com/2009/11/16/serbia-donations-required-please-to-help-the-bucket-pups/

These two situations alone prove the need throughout Serbia for national government implemented policy of animal sterilisation, vaccination, microchipping and visible identification, which would allow full traceability of the owners of such animals.

It is always the shelters who are left to pick up the remnants of carless and irresponsible animal owners. 

Here are two new pictures of the magnificent seven recently dumped with Jelena’s shelter.

Full donation information is provided in the above SAV link.

ENGLISH TRANSLATION:

SUBJECT: Stop this massacre of stray dogs immediately, the world is watching you!!

Dear Prime Minister,
Dear Mayor,

Macedonia has always been a symbol of ancient traditions, good people and hospitality… Now, seeing through our eyes, Skopje is a city of terror, massacre and use of strength against the week ones and those who don’t have a chance to defend themselves! We thought that we are part of the European family, but all we can see is an ugly picture of terror and a country that can’t handle the problem of homeless dogs. They are brutally killed in the “Vardarishte” shelter, the institution that literary has closed its doors for the people who want to adopt a homeless dog, the institution that didn’t changed its way of functioning and killing innocent animals, but became even more radical. All of this mentioned above, will put a mark on you – as aggressive politicians who don’t care about which instrument to use, as long as their objective is achieved.

But… do you know that one of the conditions for entrance in the European family is human treatment towards the dogs and transparency of the institutions who are supposed to take care of them? Do you know that you are the only one who don’t have at least three shelters for dogs in the capital city? Do you know that the world is watching you and your brutal actions? Do you want to be remembered as dog-killers and nothing more? Have you ever heard about the international organizations that fight for animal rights and all the victories that they have achieved?

According to the statistics, Skopje has the highest level of euthanized homeless dogs. Dogs that are young and healthy, creatures that have a right to live, just as every other being. We will do anything that is in our power – and believe us, we have the power, because we are not moved by money but by the LOVE towards the innocent creatures – to stop this massacre.

We are therefore asking you to stop this brutality IMMEDIATELY towards those who suffer!
