Please scroll down for german translation.

Two years ago I met my husband Omar and a short time later we were married. In April 2014 I moved to Trinidad & Tobago. My husband already took care of two Pothounds (it’s what stray dogs are called here), gave them food, and treated them medically as much as possible. Since my arrival here in the Caribbean much has happened. I cared for some dogs and cats that no longer live with us, and some unfortunately…are no longer among us today.

From the very beginning what struck me is that almost everyone in Trinidad seems to have at least one dog. Most of them are chained or caged in a yard. Many of these dogs have no fresh water nearby, lay next to their feces, and due to muscle atrophy can hardly move. It is very rare to see someone walking a dog. There are the many stray dogs that struggle to survive daily in this hostile world.

Every day I read reports on the Internet by like-minded Trinidadians who ask to support injured or starving dogs, females with their babies on the road, and to foster "disposed" puppies and kittens. This situation needs improving.

My mission is to feed animals in need, provide them shelter, and ensure that they do not multiply uncontrollably. I would create a dog park where owners can have their beloved four-legged friends run and play with other dogs. This does not exist here resulting in people not walking their dogs. Also, I would use major highway billboards to advertise issues like dogs not belonging in cages or chained 24/7.

I cannot finance this myself but with small donations a lot can change. I already own a piece of land where I can build the emergency rescue shelter and playground. I call this project, "Animal Rescue Palace Trinidad & Tobago".

Afterall, It may just be a drop in the ocean...but it will care for many needy strays and save LIVES!

Please help and be a part of an important life change for the cats and dogs of Trinidad & Tobago!

                      THANK YOU!

Nachdem ich vor etwa zwei Jahren meinen Mann Omar kennengelernt habe, bin ich Ende April 2014 nach Trinidad & Tobago ausgewandert. Omar kümmerte sich bereits seit einiger Zeit um zwei Pothounds (wie Straßenhunde hier genannt werden). Er fütterte und versorgte sie auch medizinisch, soweit ihm das möglich war. Seit meiner Ankunft hier in der Karibik ist Vieles passiert; so einige von der Straße gerettete Hunde und Katzen, von denen heute nicht mehr alle mit uns leben und einige leider auch nicht mehr unter uns sind.

Was mir von Anfang an in Trinidad aufgefallen ist, beinah jeder scheint mindestens einen Hund zu haben. Meist angekettet oder in einem Käfig auf dem Grundstück. Viele dieser Hunde haben kein frisches Wasser in ihrer Nähe, sitzen neben ihren Fäkalien und können sich aufgrund von Muskelschwäche kaum bewegen. Gassi gehen macht hier kaum einer. Dann gibt es diese vielen Straßenhunde, die versuchen in dieser oft hundefeindlichen Welt zu überleben. Jeden Tag wird von Gleichgesinnten im Lande diese Unterstützung angefordert: verletzte, ausgehungerte Hunde, Weibchen mit ihrem Nachwuchs von der Straße zu holen und „entsorgte“ Welpen und Katzenbabies aufzuziehen. Diese Situation möchte ich gerne verbessern.

Tiere in Not zu versorgen, ihnen eine sichere Unterkunft zu geben und darum kümmern, dass sie sich nicht weiter unkontrolliert vermehren können, habe ich mir zu Aufgabe gemacht. Eine große Hundewiese anzulegen, wo Besitzer ihren geliebten Vierbeiner mal richtig flitzen oder mit anderen Hunden spielen lassen können. Dazu gehört aber auch die Aufklärung der Menschen, und Hinweise an z.B. den Autobahnen „Don´t chain your dog 24/7!“ aufzustellen.

Für all das fehlen die finanziellen Mittel. Mit einem relativ geringen Aufwand könnte sich Einiges ändern und vielen Tieren geholfen werden. Ich habe ein Stück Land, wo ich eine Katzen- und Hunde-Auffangstation mit Spielwiese errichten will. Nennen möchte ich das Projekt „Animal Rescue Palace Trinidad & Tobago“. Es mag nur ein Tropfen auf den heißen Stein sein.....aber es wird viele bedürftige Straßenhunde versorgen und auf jeden Fall Leben retten.

Bitte helft und werdet ein Teil einer wichtigen Veränderung im Leben von Hunden und Katzen in Trinidad & Tobago!

                            DANKE
