1. In Bosnia, Slobodanka has run out of kibble to feed the 151 dogs in her shelter. They will starve if no one helps!
"I'm responsible for 151 dogs in our shelter and our situation is alarming. We're almost out of kibble, and the kibble we do have is of poor quality. I've had to reduce their portions and it's clear that the dogs aren't eating enough. They finish their meals quickly and always look hungry...
The lack of kibble is already taking its toll... Dogs are losing weight and getting weaker. Malnutrition is a real problem. They're not as playful and active as they used to be. Fights over food are becoming more and more frequent, disrupting the peace we used to have.
I can't take in any more dogs because of the food situation. It's hard to see dogs on the streets and not be able to help them. The ones at the shelter are my priority, but I find it hard to look after them too... It's going to be a tough winter if we don't find some kibble soon!"
2. Already malnourished, the most fragile dogs will have no chance of surviving without this delivery of kibble!
"The kibble shortage is a serious problem. Dogs, many of whom were already vulnerable, are losing weight dangerously. Their ribs are starting to show and their energy levels are falling... The shortage isn't just affecting their weight. It affects their health more generally. The signs of malnutrition are obvious: their immune systems are weakening, they are more vulnerable to disease... I've noticed that it's harder and harder for them to recover from even the most minor illnesses!
As we fight this shortage, our ability to care for these dogs is diminishing. We can't save more dogs because we can barely feed the ones we have! Every day, as I watch their condition deteriorate, my concern for them grows. It's not just a matter of hunger, it's a matter of life and death for them! They rely on us, and right now, our inability to provide them with enough kibble is putting them in danger..."
3. With each failed attempt to obtain kibble, the dogs' survival becomes more precarious...
"We have tried many things to obtain kibble, but the challenges are enormous. The local collections we've organized have yielded only minimal donations, insufficient to meet our needs. Our attempts to collect donations online have not been successful either.
I also contacted Bosnian diaspora groups in the hope of getting some help. While their responses have warmed my heart, they have not translated into the concrete help we need. Requests for subsidies to buy kibble are another avenue we've explored, but they've all been turned down...
We have tried to cut other expenses in order to allocate more funds to the purchase of kibble, but this has not been enough. Each of these unsuccessful attempts reinforces my feeling of helplessness. With each failure, the dogs' situation becomes more precarious and my concern for their survival grows..."
4. Slobodanka isn't asking for money, only kibble to prevent the dogs from starving.
"The shortage of kibble at our shelter impacts every aspect of our mission. Without sufficient kibble, our ability to rehabilitate, care for and prepare dogs for adoption is severely compromised. These dogs, many of whom come from difficult backgrounds, need good nutrition to be healthy and adoptable.
Our efforts to provide shelter for older dogs and those with special needs are particularly hard hit. Lack of kibble also hampers our ability to establish a relationship of trust with abused dogs. For them, a stable and predictable environment, starting with regular meals, is essential for healing and building trust.
Furthermore, our role in managing the overpopulation of street dogs is compromised. Without kibble, we can't carry out more rescues, or sterilizations. The very survival of these dogs depends on our ability to obtain more kibble. Every aspect of our mission, from rehabilitation to adoption to managing street dog populations, rests on this fundamental need."
5. Despite the long days and lack of resources, Slobodanka knows she can't let down the animals who rely on her.
"Looking after 151 dogs, each with its own story and needs, is a responsibility I take on wholeheartedly. The hours are long and the work is relentless, but my commitment to caring for each dog never wavers.
In the difficult environment of Bosnia, where resources are often scarce and support limited, I strive every day to make a significant difference in the lives of these dogs. This mission, while rewarding, comes with a significant emotional burden. The constant struggle for resources, the pressure to provide the best care, often leave me feeling isolated in my efforts.
Yet it's the story of each dog's survival, each wagging tail and confident pair of eyes that fuel my determination to persevere. Their resilience inspires me, driving me on despite the obstacles. They remind me every day of the impact of my work and the deep bond I have with them."
