Help Us Keep The Dogs Safe And Healthy by Sandra Jensen

In December I wrote news of the critical situation for nine dogs living in horrifically inadequate conditions for winter in Sarajevo. Thanks to generous donations we funded the building of warm sleeping crates for the dogs.

However, we continued to worry about the dogs, as it was not easy to ensure they were being fed or cared for properly. They all have lowered immune systems due to demodex (mange) or canine parvovirus and other conditions. We decided to transfer all the dogs to a better pension. Ensar, who manages the new pension is a vet. We already are sponsoring three dogs there, and they are doing very well. Grace (right), one of the dogs rescued from the horror shelter of Hreša, was so emotionally traumatised and terrified of people, we feared she would never recover. But now she is doing much, much better.

This is a big decision: the new pension, costs 90 Euros per month per dog (about $120), while the other pension cost 45 euros for young dogs, or 70 euros for adult dogs. We already are sponsoring 3 dogs at Ensar's, and an additional 9 dogs means the monthly cost for these dogs alone is 1080 Euros (about $1500 USD) per month.

All these dogs are up for adoption. We feel it is imperative to make sure they are healthy and as happy as can be possible in a 'pension' (it's impossible to foster dogs in Bosnia, only animal welfare activists foster, and they are full up with rescues).

Can you help sponsor one of these lovely dogs, so they can stay at this much better pension until they find their forever home?
