Udruzenje za spasavanje i zaztitu zivotinja SAPA Zenica hasn't added a story.
Sapa Zenica animal rescue group was founded in 2009. Since then, this small, but very dedicated organization has helped hundreds of homeless animals in their home town Zenica and also in the surrounding areas. They provide urgent veterinary help, accomodation and more. Despite mounting debts for food, accomodation, transport and veterinary help, Sapa Zenica never their back on an animal in need.
Previously the 3000 homeless dogs in Zenica lived somewhat peacefully in the streets of Zenica. They were being fed by locals, and the town had a no-kill policy. However, this all changed in January 2017, when dog catchers on behalf of the local authorities started rounding up the 3000 dogs and killing them in horrific ways. Sapa Zenica frantically rescued as many of the dogs as they possibly could and brought them to safety. Of the 3000 dogs living in Zenica up to then, 2700 were killed. Sapa managed to save 300.
This is the direct cause of the high number of dogs placed in paid kennels today. Some dogs are lucky enough to get adopted abroad. But as one dog leaves, a new one comes in - dogs get abused, hit by cars and left to suffer on the road, or just dumped in alarming numbers. The monthly costs for Sapa Zenica are sky high, and they are months behind with payments for accomodation and vet costs.
Both Sandra Jensen and Mette Lunde of AWA Bosnia (Animal Welfare Advocates for Bosnia) have visited Sapa Zenica and seen first hand the amazing work this dedicated group of animal lovers do on a day-to-day basis. Integrity and transparency are crucial to them.
Food for one month for these 300+ dogs costs more than 1200 euros. Unless the bill is paid, there will be no new food deliveries. The dogs will starve. There is no chance the volunteers in Sapa Zenica can pay this bill alone. They struggle enough as it is, being on overwhelm with costs, and in addition being treated in hostile ways both of the local authorities and people in Zenica. Can we please help them, so the dogs can at least have a daily meal?
Any help, any amount is highly appreciated.
