“Serbia is war torn, poor and has a dreadful attitude to animals. Dogs are despised and feared and treated as vermin! But dear brave Jelena has dedicated her life to saving them, and my small charity is really making a difference. I am in communication with Jelena who runs the shelter every day, she speaks perfect English so we have no problems understanding each other! I know what is happening at the shelter on a daily basis, the dogs that have been dumped, the ones that have been poisoned and the kittens that are left in boxes. It inspires and motivates me to do as much as I can to raise funds and awareness. Since I became involved almost 2 years ago we have made a real difference with nearly 100 dogs neutered, enclosures and insulated doghouses built (the dogs are all outside and the weather is very cold in winter in Serbia). Also money is sent for food which is always desperately needed and of course there are the veterinary costs.”
