Animal Shelter "Nadezhda" (RUS-21)
|
Brief description and main aims
The animal shelter “Nadezhda” (Hope) was founded in 2011, and it looks for homes for abandoned and homeless animals. At the moment, the shelter has 130 dogs and 30 cats.
It aims to treat, train and rehouse these animals as well as to raise awareness through local events and the media.
|
Main ActivitiesThe shelter provides necessary medical help, treatment for fleas and worms, and vaccinations against infections and rabies. Females are always sterilised. The shelter also interacts with the trapping service to remove puppies and dogs with owners from the pound. We use both online and printed advertisements, as well as outreach work in villages, to help find homes for our animals. We also work actively with the media: our animals have been featured in newspaper articles and television reports. |
