All items in my shop are sold to help the animals at the dog sanctuary in Nis, Serbia. One of the realities of life in Serbia is the amount of suffering caused by unneutered dogs giving birth to puppies on the streets. Some people take puppies and dump them in the countryside where of course they have no chance at all. The dogs that live on the streets of Nis are vulnerable to disease, starvation and being injured in car accidents. One of the dogs that was rescued had lain badly injured at the side of the road for 3 days whilst his owner trundled past daily on his tractor! This brave young dog has had many operations and had to have his leg amputated. Thanks to SOS for Serbian Animals he is now living in his forever home in Canada!!
We still have much to do to help the Serbian animals. We have a programme of neutering, building enclosures and insulated kennels, paying veterinary expenses and paying for food. Serbia is so opposed to dogs, treating them like vermin and rounding them up in inhumane ways to incarcerate them and then kill them. They shoot them, poison them, stab them to death and fear and hate them! Changing attitudes is very important and we are working with other groups to pressurise the Serbian Authorities to implement proper humane animal welfare.
There is no RSPCA or PDSA in Serbia, it is a very poor country that is just overcoming the aftermath of dreadful wars. But there are a few compassionate people and we are helping them as they strive to make a difference and to change people's attitudes to animals.
