I know, there are dogs here in the states that need help- true but, these beautiful pups need urgent help because they have no options, are out of time, and are in a culture that can be horrific for dogs. So, we are working with a local rescue (Baku Street Dog Rescue) that is made up of mostly ex-pats working in there area who were shocked & moved by the conditions that the dogs in Baku, Azerbailjan face. These wonderful volunteers have a time limit to their stay and are desperately working to get these pups out & into safe conditons asap. Your donation will help cover the expenses of getting these dogs to the US where they will be in local no-kill shelters and fosters. The expenses include flights, paying flight buddies, buying crates, necessary vet attention, & vet paperwork. Any donation will help tremendously. Please, re-post.
Here is a little about one of the puppies we are trying to help:
Askar story
"Workers of the International Red Cross in Azerbaijan took
this little guy home after they kept crossing him on their morning
jogging route. Although we knew we would not be able to permanently
adopt him (our life is spent overseas moving every year to a new
assignment in war affected areas), we put him in the garden of the
house where several of us live together where he would be safe and
some of us started caring for him. We were sure we could get him
adopted in Azerbaijan. But we have exhausted all possibilities and
hope of that. Time was on our side for a long time as the people
staying at the house were (more or less) OK to have him around. Now
time has run out and we are leaving Azerbaijan and the new people
coming in to take over the house do not want him in the garden
anymore. The shelters here are all full and anyway his chances of
being adopted from a shelter here are pretty much zero. We have taken
very good care of him, but his situation is now desperate. He needs a
permanent solution to live with people who will care for him and give
him a future. As you see by the photos, he is very handsome! He also
has a lovely character; he absolutely loves being around people. He is
(if anything) a bit over excited when people come into the compound.
He jumps and runs all around and just expresses his profound joy to be
with you! His early experiences must not have been very good. If you
are holding a stick when you approach him, he cringes and skulks away.
But if you don't have a stick, he is just happy to see you! He is
nearly 2 years old. He lives outside, even in winter because some of
the residents of the house did not allow him to be inside. It would be
nice for him if he never had to sleep outside in the winter again. We
do sometimes sneak him into the house for a couple of hours and he is
so very happy and well behaved when he is allowed inside. His name is
Askar (a typical Azeri name) and he needs a loving family with room to
run around outside. If he gets to actually live indoors with people,
he will be in heaven! We sure hope for a happy ending for this little cutie."
