August has had its share of ups and downs for Caki’s furry family. Five tiny, vulnerable, summer orphans, found on the road trying to suckle from their dead mother, were taken into safety by Caki along with their big sister Lucinda, who has acted as a super surrogate mum. Sadly, despite receiving the best possible care including prophylactic medication, we nevertheless lost the boys Happy, Dopey and Sleepy to parvo virus, but thankfully Princess and Queenie are doing well. Another heartbreaking loss was Goldie who survived a road accident, only to succumb to infection and seizures due to a tick bite. On the way to bury her, Caki found the strikingly similar Blondie lying at the roadside and Caki brought this ray of light into his fold.
Recent rescues are Woody, a friendly boy regularly seen searching for food in the street who was taken to safety from the inevitable dogcatchers, and Yvonne, a little pup barely a year old, miserable in cruel, desperate isolation, chained permanently inside a dark barn. FREE NOW TO LIVE!
Happy news for CeeCee who has gone to Germany and Boots, Mia, Twingo, Susie and Sejo who have all gone to UK rescues. All have waited patiently in pension for up to one and a half years, kept safe by the kindness and generosity of our donors - Thank You all!
Sadly, on a very worrying note, relief helpers who
regularly visit and feed the dogs in Praca every Sunday have now
been locked out. This means the remaining dogs are being
systematically starved. Caki and other helpers have been scaling
the fences to get much needed food in, but are being removed by the
police. Please help to shine a light on this systematic abuse by
sharing Caki's posts around the world.
IMPORTANT: Due to new and emerging tax claims, please would
ALL those DONATING BY PayPal mark your donation
simply as "Gift". This may help to
minimise tax liabilities.
By making a donation towards his furry family, you can help keep them safe for one more month. Every Euro shows you care, every share shows you care. Please do look out for possible new homes for Caki's dogs - they are safe in "pension" but they all really need proper homes. If you can help him in anyway please share his struggle: HELP CAKI DOGS TO FIND HOMES.

PENSION and VET FEES'. PLEASE mark payments "Gift". ****
FUNDRAZR FEES: It seems that if you are using PayPal then Fundrazr will only work properly with a minimum €5 donation PLUS a minimum €1 "donation" or "tip" to Fundrazr. Smaller donations, and or donations with the Fundrazr "tip" set to zero, are automatically refunded via PayPal.
TAX: The Bosnian authorities have retrospectively imposed a 10% tax on all PayPal and other electronic payments to private individuals received from overseas. As a result we have to add a further 10% to cover this cost. Caki is working with professional advisers to find how best to minimise this extra cost, and the potentially crippling retrospective liability: PLEASE MARK YOUR DONATIONS as "GIFT".
