Who we are?
We are homeless animal shelter “Penkta Koja” which was started back in 2010. Up until this year all our personnel was volunteers, but now we can afford to have few necessary constant workers, all other people are volunteers. We are a private animal shelter and we don’t put down animals if they don’t find their forever home for a long time, we keep them until it is needed. Also, we don’t get funding from the government, we only survive due to the charity of good people and organizations.
Our mission - continually reduce homeless animals number in Lithuania while taking humane measures, that is, by conducting the strict female dogs sterilization programme, responsible animal gifting and educating our society about animal welfare problems.
Our vision – reduced number of homeless animals which will lead to: only one animal in each of our cages and fenced areas; that twice a year we won’t get more than 60 - 70 young abandoned puppies; that there won’t be any animal abuse cases and people will take and care of their pets with responsibility.
Our statistics: In 2014 646 homeless dogs found refuge in our shelter and 446 of them found their loving home, 66 runaways were returned back home. In the first nine months of 2015 we already took in 522 animals and gifted 378. Currently, we have around 150 dogs and some cats.
Our purposes and functions:
1. Treating and giving temporally custody to homeless animals while looking for new loving owners for them.
2. Active female dog and cat sterilization campaign to avoid unnecessary offspring that often one way or another again ends up in our arms.
3. Activity while sharing various stories from our daily life with society via social media, responding to their help requests.
4. Organising various events and donating campaigns involving organizations that are willing to help us, implementing various projects which main purpose is the education of our society about responsible behaviour with domesticated animals.
5. Taking over homeless animals from organizations that put down animals after 14 days of their arrival.
Our achievements:
1. The accelerating construction of modern animal shelter. Our small and medium in size animals lives in Linksmakalnis since 2014 summer, we hope that we will be able to keep all our animals in one place in the middle of 2016.
2. The improvement of living conditions for our smallest and most vulnerable to cold animals since they now live in heated premises in Linksmakalnis.
3. From this year we finally have conditions to have our own constant vet who visits our animals and looks after them – that means regular veterinarian treatment involving vaccinations, tablets against worms and sterilization.
4. Starting the installation of vet cabinet.
5. After the purchase of suitable for animal transportation vehicles, all pets are guaranteed to reach veterinarian if it is necessary.
6. More and more homeless animals find their forever home, people are more willing to help our cause (financially and morally), seek our help. Due to this we are more known and receive positive reviews and our practice is appreciated.
7. The intense female animals sterilization programme which we conduct allows us to strongly reduce unwanted offspring number while using humane measures. Each sterilized female dog prevents 10 unwanted lives coming in to this world annually, each sterilized cat - 6. We avoid giving away not sterilized female animals.
What we need from YOU?
We want to kindly ask for your help with our cause to rescue and make the lives of homeless animals better. We do this because we don’t have any other option – we are lacking funds to deal with the constant and never ending flow of abandoned and rejected animals.
