#MyChristmasMyBrokenSpine



I KNOW I ASK AND ASK AND ASK .. you to give funds to rescues..
BUT IF YOU BABY WAS HIT BY A CAR AND HER SPINE BROKEN you would ask for help to wouldn't you??!!
EDINA NEEDS YOU... PLEASE!
Edina Pasic Wrote this on Face Book I copy Pasted to ask you all to help


URGENT!! This girl has a very sad story... She was hit by a car and the impact caused her to become immobile...
People contacted us and we took her to the vet right away, but unfortunately no one can help her here even though she has a chance of survival if she gets surgery...
Maybe a small chance, but there`s still hope... She was looked after and fed by an old lady who is almost 80 years old and has little money. She can`t offer her anything but her love and tears... She broke my heart begging us to save her dog...
I know that this may cost to much , but I don`t know what else to do except try to help her... So now I ask all my friends, there`s only two days left until Christmas and my biggest wish is to save this innocent soul... I beg you to help me...
We had a similar case about a year ago... I think most if you remember FELIX... Since we`re found this little girl, I`ve been looking at his pictures (old and new) and the videos of him, and somehow my heart is telling me that she deserves to enjoy life the same way that he does now...


The look in her eyes is killing me, and I`ve promised her that I`ll do my best to get her help... Please, don`t let us let her down... Let`s help this angel and make her our Christmas present, our happiness and joy because we`ve saved another poor life...

  

The X-ray pictures are sent to Belgrade. Slovenia and Zagreb and we have received word from Zarko in Zagreb, who will be able to help her... Dear friends, please let us try to help her find happiness in life and shorten her pain...



Please help... YOU CAN DONATE AT:
Paypal is: andjeosarajevo@gmail.com

I COULD LIE AND SAY I DON"T ASK FOR MUCH .. WHEN I REALLY ASK EVERY DAY....
BUT THIS IS MUCH MUCH MORE THIS IS, THIS DOG'S LIFE!

IF YOU CAN ONLY GIVE CHANGE THEN GIVE THAT ---- BUT FOR THIS DOG'S LIFE--- PLEASE GIVE ANYTHING.

#desperate need of Funds.






Hi, 
Andjeo Sarajevo is in desperate need of Funds.  The pictures I have included are ones of her helping animals over the years just to show you how much she loves helping them..and may not be the one talked about in her message. 
They are ones I like because they show her love for all Gods living creatures!
PLEASE IF YOU HAVE EVEN A PENNY EXTRA GIVE IT TO HER!  She is honest and caring and works daily to save the hurt and rejected animals in Bosnia and Herzegovina.


This situation is desperate..Nelda Percival
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
URGENT APPEAL!!!! Dear friends,


Once again we need to ask you for help. You all know our Laika, who is supposed to travel to her forever home on Monday... 

Unfortunately, I haven`t had time to make a post about her debt, so that her vet bills for treatment and sterilization haven`t been covered. 

We need 160 for this. 
  Laika, Ginger and Lucky
all supposed to travel Monday

In addition to this we also need food.

 We don`t even have 1 gr left for our animals on the streets of our city... The winters here are harsh and we have to have at least food for them... My heart breaks when I see them curled up, cold and shivering... 
NOTE FROM ME: The Winters In Eastern Europe particularly the Balkan Mountains is SUB ZERRO  TEMPITURES...as low as  minus 40 degrees fahrenheit .. to survive they need high protien foods, they get what we can afford to feed them...

We also had to rent a car so that we could check on the animals in pensions, bring them food and take new pictures... 

We also need to pick up Ginger (one of Jela`s cats) from Tuzla because he is also supposed to travel on Monday and we have pick up Tanya Fennel`s cat from Zenica... 

Please help us this time also and hopefully we will get our car in a couple of days, latest in a week. We need 210e for a car now, for 6 days, and at least 15-20e for gas every day. 

For food we need whatever you can spare... One bag of food is 20e.. 

vet- 160.00 
rent car  for 6 days -  210.00
gas/petrol for 6 days 90.00 - 120.00
dog food/cat food - 20.00 per bag - 2 bags per day 6 days - 20.00 - 240.00 
_____________________________________________________________________

total needed being near 630.00 euros  
She needs  as much as you possibly can give her.. 

Paypal is: andjeosarajevo@gmail.com  if you only have spare change you can give that too by entering 0.50 for 50 cents.. or 0. what ever...amount




her request for help can be like this tree empty
and barren















or you can fill this request and fill this tree....



PLEASE TAKE A FEW MINUTES AND GIVE YOU WILL SAVE LIFES and GIVE THE BEST PRESENT EVER -

LIFE SHELTER FOOD AND ADOPTION

KICKED OUT ON CHRISTMAS



A few years ago I met Ana Johnston An animal activists, she took some dog coats to Bosina for me when she visited them... Last year she visited Sasha Pesic and his shelter with 450 dogs living together with out cages. ONE OF THE BESTS SHELTERS IN THE WORLD.  Even Harmony fund helps him.

BUT SOME ONE IN SERBIA IS ANGRY WITH HIM... he has been given 15 days to remove himself and all 450 dogs...

BUT WHERE DOES HE GO... PLEASE HELP.. PLEASE SING THIS LETTER AND SEND IT TO THE ADDRESSES BELOW.. PLEASE SHARE..

WOULD ANYONE WITH MONEY ( REAL MONEY) BUY HIM PROPERTY, BUILD FENCES, BUILD A FEW BARNS AND HELP HIM MOVE THE DOGS...IF THEY ARE NOT MOVED IF THE DOG CATCHERS GO IN THEY WILL KILL THEM ALL...

AND THEY CAN --------  THESE DOGS TRUST PEOPLE ----- THEY WILL BE EASY KILLS!

KNOW SOMEONE WHO WILL HELP...PLEASE I BEG YOU .... TELL THEM BEG THEM HELP THIS MAN MOVE THESE DOGS SO THEY CAN"T KILL THEM..



 (THE LETTER TO SEND)

To whom it may concern,

It has come to my attention that the Division of municipal and housing Inspection Nis, Serbia (Red Cross municipal) has given an order for 450 dogs in care of Sasa Pesic to be removed within 15 days.

The order was served to Svetlana Dejanovic – Avramovic who is the president of the ‘Drustvo Za Zastitu ZIvotinja Nis’ on the 4th of December 2014. Reference Number 355-700/2014-06.

I am an animal welfare activists and we have been made aware of the situation mentioned above.
I have great concern for the welfare of these 450 dogs if you insist on their move.

It is unrealistic that 450 live animals can be moved and housed safely in 2 weeks.
Where do you propose that they should go?
Medijana has no room for them.
These dogs we are talking about now, are vaccinated, the environment they’re in is clean and they are contained and therefore do not pose a threat to general public.

The dogs have been there for years because the City of Nis has failed to deal with the stray population according to Serbian Animal Welfare laws. These dogs have been vaccinated, neutered and fed by a number of foreign organisations.

Foreigns Animal Welfare organisations from Austria, USA, Belgium and UK offer free spaying and neutering for the privately owned pets as well as strays, again something that the city of Nis is not doing a very good job of.

Over the years, 1500 strays have been taken care of, neutered and rehomed or housed in shelters by foreign organisations. That is 1500 dogs you did not have to fund from the city budget, we will continue to do so as well as try and educate the public about the importance of sterilisation. This was all done via the Drustvo Za Zastitu Zivotinja Nis members who are all volunteers with the help of their dog loving friends from abroad.

Austrian organisations as well as organisations from USA, UK and Belgium visit the shelters across Nis and help out as much as they can. These organisation also bring many people to Nis several times every year. They stay in local hotels, eat at your restaurants, visit your tourist attractions, buy in your shops. As a supporter I spend money in your city!

We are very disappointed that you wish to move the dogs you failed to take care of in the first place away from what is an only safe environment they have ever had. It is my understanding that the City of Nis was meant to build an EU standard approved shelter for stray animals by 31.05.2012.
I urge you to reconsider your decision now. I fully understand that the current shelter is not up to the EU standard, and therefore I ask you to help bring it up to the EU standard, offer an alternative location which is as good as or better to move these dogs to or lastly, extend our stay there for another 12 months.

Cities such as London, UK have shelters in the middle of the city (Battersea Dogs and Cats Home). Also in Austria we have pubic shelters close to residential areas, so does Belgrade.

I ask you to help create a Serbia’s first shelter that is up to EU standard and that welcomes visitors.

Unlike in Serbia, most of Western world does not see dogs as a problem or a pest. They are greatly loved family members and Sasa and his dogs are very popular and have a great international following. It would be a shame having to go public with the story about the City of Nis making 450 dogs homeless through no fault of their own, without making an effort to work out a plan for where these dogs could go.

I think that citizens who have been solving an important public job for years now, without using any resources from the Budget of RS can not be punished for that.
Everybody should go on solving the problem in the best way, finding a solution to improve this shelter till it has a legal status according to serbian law regulatives. It can’t be that city authorities cancel it.

On the contrary, this shelter could be attractive and this city can be proud of it. The relocation of these dogs should be done by JKP Mediana which is a public enterprise that owns an illegal shelter itself.

I eagerly await your response/best regards

What are you #THANKFUL-FOR


Food Is a great item to be thankful for,  All of us animals need it to live



  
We are grateful we all can live together in a home, We all need it to feel safe.




We all need LOVE, COMPASSION, and CARING



But this is reality for most


This is how life starts for most  street animals



AND THIS IS HOW IT ENDS WITH OUT YOUR HELP

Can't Adopt a Street Dog.. Then become a virtual adopter

Virtual Adoption is a section of AWABosnia.org     this page EXPLAINS ALL ABOUT IT - 

Here are some worthy rescues you could donate to with out help these animals will die in the streets.



 1. http://www.youcaring.com/nonprofits/andjeosarajevo/267626 all about Andjeo Sarajevo run by Edina Pasic. Donating here you can indicate any animal, any bill or just for general funding..

2. https://www.facebook.com/HelpForFurries  Run by Miska Oksanen and Encarni Erzsebet. A new and upcoming rescue, giving funds raised to whom ever they can help. They post reciepts.
Their pay pal account is: helpforfurries@gmail.com

3.  The Spanish Cats - http://www.youcaring.com/medical-fundraiser/cats-in-danger-in-granada-spain/267296   Each adult cat costs 100 euro to get them from the shelter and 50 euro for kittens.. after that 20-to 40 euro each month to help feed them and pay vet bills for each. (They are new and need help!)      Please  visit the page

4.  Ruff Beginnings: Special Needs Dogs -   Run by Hare Lucinda  https://www.facebook.com/groups/161518090669589/
Ruff Beginnings is a group to support Eastern European dog rescuers, raise funds for emergencies/vet/foster and transport but will support rescuers who also have cats by sharing with Kitty Connetions.
Our paypal is - specialneedsruffbeginnings@gmail.com

A group of us wants every member of Ruff Beginings to donate one Euro on Dec 1st. But I invite you to help this great RESCUE and donate even if your not a member! Hare Lucinda helps several rescues herself and her pages and events help all who ask.. But it seems we forget she has rescue animals she needs help supporting too So add a Euro for her too!

5. Kitty Connections is a positive, supportive group of people, who are coming together to help cats in need in Europe. This group will focus on spay/neuter projects, providing food for hungry cats, emergency vet care announcements, vaccinations, sharing information and experience, supporting each other, raising awareness for cats that need adopters and fosterers and keeping moral and positive energy high, to enable us to help as many cats as we possibly can. 




IT IS HARD TO THINK OF ALL THESE GROUPS AND THE HELP THEY NEED WHEN ALL WE WANT IS TO GATHER TOGETHER AND SHARE WITH FAMILY..

BUT WE ANIMALS ARE ALL FAMILY.. WE HUMANS SHARE GENETICALLY WITH ALL OTHER ANIMALS..

It does not matter in this case if you believe in CREATION or in EVOLUTION  All animals SHARE GENETICS.. 


CAN WE SHARE AT LEAST TODAY  
FOOD    SHELTER  LOVE
and understanding!

PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TODAY... NOW EVEN
To use a link and donate to one of these needy Rescues so these animals can be thankful too!!


THANK YOU
Nelda
I am thankful for family and friends and for being cancer free

and for the support you will give to one of these rescues!

Virtual Adoption

Virtual Adoption

Nov 18, 2014
This programme is made to help and manage Virtual Adoptions for some of the dogs AWAB assists.

When you become Virtual Adoptor for a rescue from Bosnia Herzegovina, you will not only help keep the animal safe and off the streets, but will create a special bond. We understand that not everyone can adopt; which is why becoming a Virtual Adopter for one of the rescues whose pictures and story touched you is a wonderful alternative to adoption.The bond formed through this virtual adoption program will keep you connected to the progress of your chosen rescue, and hopefully, you will see them find their wonderful forever home. The ultimate goal is to keep them safe.

If you want to become a VA:1.  Look at the list of animals below, choose which one(s) you'd like to support2. Contact Encarni Erzsébet to let her know you are joining the VA programe and what animals you are supporting: https://www.facebook.com/anj.encarnie NOTE: IT'S VERY IMPORTANT TO CONTACT ENCARNI DIRECTLY IF YOU CHOOSE TO BE A VIRTUAL ADOPTER, NOT as a comment on this note or on a thread on the animal's photograph.3. VA payments go to our Paypal account:  donations@awabosnia.org
***IT IS VERY IMPORTANT  to mark your donation as : VA+dog(or cat) name(S).***

Most dogs need 120* euros per month to stay safe off the streets, so we hope to set 6 VAs per dog at 20 EU each. We understand that not everyone can manage 20 EU per month, so you can also choose your own amount that you can donate per month and we will continue to look for VA's for that dog until the "goal"is reached. So, for example : Person1 : 20€/month Person2: 10€/month Person3: 7€month TOTAL : 37€/120€ 
Cats are 65 EU per month.*There are some special cases where they need a bit more than others, (i.e demodex treatment, pet hotel)

4. Let Encarni know approximately what date of the month you will make your payment this will help her keep track of things.

5. Normally Encarni will send out a reminder either by email or pm, so please let her know if you would like this too, and on what date of the month you'd like her  to send it.

LissyLee





The last moments of LissyLee who could have been a  Sarajevo Street Dog.
A story by  nelda l. percival

It is dark and cold, the last time I ate was three days ago when that big dog dropped that bread and I gobbled it down while he chased me. He bit me while I squirmed under that cement wall. It still hurts. I wish momma was here, I could cuddle up to her warm body and she would clean that hole in my hip. Wallowing in the dirt stopped the bleeding, but maybe there were bad things there..

Momma where are you, I whimper. she left to get food. Momma you wouldn’t leave me alone would you? I whimper more but they may find me...I’m scared; those people with the poles chased me again today. I heard the big dog screaming, I think they got him. I haven’t smelled him since they left. 
Momma said there were nice people who will give us food, but how do you tell which are nice and who will hit and kick me. Johnny my brother was hit by a car I saw his head splatter as that monister ran over him…
Momma where are you… I’m so tired and hungry and cold.. Please, come home, I want you so badly. I’m so tired.... my eyes close and I sleep.

Oh there’s Momma I feel her body beside me, she is so warm and she is kissing me. I open my eyes; I love my Momma! Johnny's here too and he isn't hurt..

Momma where were you? It’s ok honey we will go to the bridge together and you will never hurt or be hungry and cold again… I love you baby come on, we need to go now. 

Momma can we play there.. Yes Honey we can play and no one will ever hurt you or Johnny again.. LissyLee closes her eyes and their specters fade into the rainbow...
~~~
THIS COULD BE THE STORY OF ANY PUPPY BORN IN SARAJEVO...
Will you help pay the shelter fees so Andjeo Sarajevo can save more babies… Their life's depend on our donations.
Please help! Donate at Paypal: andjeosarajevo@gmail.com tell her what it is for - food ? shelter? Rent car? New kitty? Use where needed most??
Save a life and give


oh please someone help Andjeo Sarajevo BiH the rescue group save these animals..they need donations .. they need help..
I dream that some really kind person, someone with money just says to hell with this and buys the needed car, and a farm and builds kennels and cat shelters in buildings and Edina can just keep rescuing everyone of these babies...
BUT THAT IS A DREAM... FACE REALITY!!!
Reality is that without the pennies you send the Euros you send the pounds you send every animal she has would be back out on the street and Edina's wonderful heart would just dry up from all her tears she would shed..
Reality is WITHOUT YOU there is no way to rescue, no way to save these Angels of God...
please any amount helps but thinking - oh some one will help they don't need my change.. hurts us ... and we do really do! NEED YOU !!
you can donate via Paypal: andjeosarajevo@gmail.com
