If anyone here is looking for an opportunity to do something useful, what about supporting this nonprofit organization, which helps saving and castrating romanian streetdogs. I am a member of this organisation. No Cent will be used other than for helping those dogs. We even founded our own animal shelter in Faget, Romania. Become a member or donate food or money. Or help in Faget to help building the shelter. Check our website: https://strassenhunde-rumaenien-in-not.de/
Here are some fotos from the recent visit from some members in Faget (all travel expenses are paid by the drivers themselves). You see, 100% of the donated money get’s to the dogs incl. castration projects. Even the often very poor romanian helpers don’t do it for money. But each Christmas season most of our members donate a Christmas package with durable food, sometimes needed warm shoes or toys for their kids.
If you have questions, I am glad to help. You also can contact the organization by phone and Email.
I made the experience, that some animals seem to actively seek contact with humans in order to get help. Early this year some people ringed at my house, because a cat no one has seen before, was approaching people for quite some hours and meowed. So I took her and via her chip I found her owners. They told me of her old age and that she probably developed dementia and didn’t find home anymore, as this never happened before. Or yesterday, a dove with a deep wound from a prey attack, waited in front of a door. Probably she got feeded by people and therefor she thought, humans my also can offer more than just food.
I just read this in my WhatsApp group. I am not surprised.
PS: This message was from a Romanian voluntary helper, btw., not from any German. We communicate in English. That’s why the original message was in English which got translated into German, as the message receiver isn‘t very good in English (she is nearly 70).
Some countries don’t get it. I do not like the way the Mexicans treat dogs. One of the things I love about Colombia is how they treat dogs. The entire village looks after dogs in Colombia. If they need a vet, some respected community member will go around taking a collection and the animal will get care. The dogs are almost never hungry and they get more communal love than most house dogs in some other countries.
