About this project
Manu Stoll from Hands4Animals e.V. is responsible for this project
The situation for dogs in Croatia and Bosnia-Herzegovina is sometimes catastrophic. The medical care of the dogs as well as the housing and nutrition of the animals. Many are simply abandoned, roam around, are chased on the streets or killed/poisoned because they do not fit into the cityscape. We take in the animals and take care of them.
In the current shelter (asylum), which was built in the ruins of an old quarry, there is no electricity or running water.
The dogs' dwellings are constantly damp and damp. That's why we urgently need to make repairs so that the dogs are better protected from wind and weather. Specifically, we need to do the following:
In the current shelter (asylum), which was built in the ruins of an old quarry, there is no electricity or running water.
The dogs' dwellings are constantly damp and damp. That's why we urgently need to make repairs so that the dogs are better protected from wind and weather. Specifically, we need to do the following:
- We have to buy about 10-15 new dog kennels, because the old ones are now rotten and absolutely cannot be mended.
- In the front area, we have to concrete a section, because in this steep slope the stones have become so slippery that they pose an enormous risk of injury to the dogs, but also to our animal rights activists when it rains.
- The roofs of the kennels need to be repaired so that it doesn't rain into the kennels.
- In the case of a kennel, the roof must be completely renewed, as it offers no protection whatsoever in rain and snow.
- There is still masonry on the upper floors of the ruins, but there are no windows. Our animal rights activists would like to make these rooms escape-proof with fence elements and keep out the strong wind with plexiglass windows. These plexiglass windows can then be removed again in summer so that the dogs have a cool breeze to better withstand the great heat
- The fencing is no longer stable on the upper floor. Here, too, there is an urgent need to install fence elements that provide more safety for the dogs.
- 1-2 used construction containers should be purchased so that the dogs have a roof over their heads. So far, in some areas, only dog kennels have served as a refuge from rain and snow.
Please help us to carry out these construction measures. The winter on site is very wet and cold, and the strong wind also comes into play. Our dogs are constantly wet and have no way to warm themselves. Therefore, they must protect as much as possible from rain, snow and wind.
