Raising awareness and funds to stop animal suffering in Sarajevo and Bosnia-Herzegovina
CRITICAL SITUATION
19
The rescues at this particular pension in
Sarajevo have no heating. There are nine dogs at this pension, most of
them quite young. Marley and Tessa are outside (with a dogs house to
sleep in, but no heating) and all the others are sleeping in a garage.
It is VERY cold, temperatures already going down to minus 10 and it will
get much colder. Jelena Paunović couldn’t take many photos because her
fingers were frozen. What is worse is that all the dogs are very unwell
with demodex and lowered immune systems. These are the dogs that
survived canine parvovirus and Tessa, one of the dogs, barely survived
pneumonia and has an enlarged heart. See “Things Are Not Good In Sarajevo“.
If we can’t find a solution the dogs may not survive the winter. I am
not sure what the solution can be. The only suitable pension is King
Pension and there is no space there. Perhaps we can raise funds for
blankets, straw, or even for electric heating to be brought into the
garage. I’m working on this and will update but funds are needed to get
these dogs through the winter, at the very least with very high quality
food. Jackets for each dog cost around 40 Euros ($USD 50) unless they
can be mailed over, but this can take up to 6 weeks from the USA.
