1. Without kibble, volunteers cannot feed street dogs anymore, several have died recently !
Mag couldn't be gathered by the volunteers, due to lack of space and food. She contracted distemper on the streets, and died mid-April
Zuca was well known to the volunteers, but could not be gathered either : he died of distemper in April
Living on the street, Kon was hit by a car at the end of March, and did not survive his injuries
The volunteers took Juca to the vet when he contracted distemper, but he was very thin and weakened, his immune system did not resist.... he died at the end of February
Hit by a car and left for dead, Lesika suffers from multiple injuries, and sepsis due to lack of care.... Still, she can be considered lucky: she is one of the last animals rescued by the association
Mvrica suffers from several broken bones in her pelvis and back following a car accident. The driver who hit her didn't stop, Mvrica stayed on the road until the volunteers rescued her
Only a few months old, Blacky suffers from a severe infection that volunteers are trying to control
Found by chance by the volunteers early in April, Zuca was totally skeletal and infested with parasites: his condition was such that the volunteers could not leave him. But today, they can no longer help other street dogs!
"This is terrible. Bad!!! There's so many new ones we don't have anywhere to place. Injured, tortured, sick and hungry... We are so stressed out about debts, for treatment of new ones, even though the old ones are not paid... We have nothing to feed them" said the association only a few days ago, overwhelmed.
Over the past three months, its volunteers have rescued about40 dogs, and are desperately looking for solutions for those they can't help. Unfortunately, their calls for help often go unanswered...
2. On the streets and in the makeshift shelters set up for them, 150 dogs rely on the association. They are losing weight and their health is declining, they need kibble as a matter of urgency!
Milica was wandering on a fast lane, alone and seriously injured when she was reported to the volunteers. Part of her leg had to be amputated, Milica remains traumatized and thinned: she can't recover without kibble!
Found in the middle of a landfill a few weeks ago, Loki was barely alive when the volunteers came to his rescue. Various injuries and advanced skin disease have left him with several after-effects: Loki is almost totally blind, extremely thin and his immune system remains weak
Kasi is only two years old, but already suffered serious injuries: hit by a car, she had several broken bones in her pelvis and legs, as well as various open wounds. Her body remains weak, Kasi is already very thin...
Weakened by his diet; and suffering from heart problems, Kid died at the end of March
With a weaker immune system, Pako contracted distemper and failed to survive it, he died at the end of February
At the end of March already, the association called for help and sent warnings about the dogs's health, in hope that new donors would react... but this was not the case
During our visit, we followed the volunteers to the various makeshift shelters set up throughout the city, and met the 150 dogs or so they care for.
Every day, volunteers visit the different sites to take care of all the dogs. But they have been facing a shortage of food for weeks now: dogs are losing weight, they are developing digestive problems. Worse, their immune system is weakening, making them vulnerable to diseases!
3. The supplier refuses to deliver kibble because of unpaid invoices: the association cannot pay its debts, and can no longer buy kibble!
The association is indebted by more than 6000€ to its kibble supplier, who now refuses to deliver any more food. She managed to convince another supplier to leave her a few bags on credit on an exceptional basis on April 18th, but this cannot be renewed
For several months, the association managed to feed the dogs thanks to the credit granted by a kibble supplier. Unfortunately, the debt now stands at over €6300: the supplier refuses to deliver again until it has been repaid.
The volunteers' insistence allowed them to obtain a few bags on April 18th from another supplier, but the latter refused to give them more kibble as long as an invoice remains unpaid.
The volunteers are up against it, they need our help!
4. During our visit on April 20th, there was only a handful of dogfood left, which has now been exhausted. Despite the calls for help, volunteers don't manage to collect any food
In November 2018, the Animal Webaction community came into action to send 4000 kg of kibble to the shelter. But this stock has now been exhausted for several months, and the association can no longer buy kibble!
Our caseworker Aleksandar (left), along with Miodrag, one of the volunteers of the Beta Zajecar association
The volunteers have sent multiple SOSs in recent weeks, but have so far obtained no results...
When we met the volunteers on April 20th, there were only 50 kg of kibbles left to feed 150 dogs....
The association keeps sending distress signals, evoking both the weight loss of the dogs, their health concerns, and their inability to help other street dogs, but it is not working!
5. If we don't reach the target, dogs won't receive any food
A failed collection on Animal Webaction
We can come into action, we have already booked a truck and pallets, but we have to pay it before May 2nd.
If the collection fails, we will not be able to pay, the departure of the truck will be cancelled and none of the collected kibbles will be delivered...
If this fails, we will refund all donors
6. Without the help of the government or international foundations, volunteers fight for everything, they can no longer get by
The Beta Zajecar association relies only on a handful of volunteers, who manage as best as they can to protect the dogs
The association does not have a simple shelter: the dogs are kept in several places that the volunteers must visit every day, set up with resourcefulness
Since many dogs cannot be sheltered in proper enclosures, volunteers build makeshift kennels out of salvage, allowing street dogs to isolate themselves a little...
The association does not have a shelter as such: some pens have been made in an abandoned horse stall as well as in a former pound, but everything is makeshift.
If they manage to avoid infrastructure costs, some expenses are incompressible: rent for land, medical expenses, fuel for travel, and of course food.
Astronomical costs for a handful of people, who receive no external financial support....
7. Several volunteers have already left, the association is unable to federate new ones. Everything leans on a few persons!
Confronted to many difficulties, several volunteers left the team last year, which dropped to only 7 people.
As Zajecar is a city with an ageing population, few young people who can help are now on the spot. Those who are are either not sensitive to the plight of street animals or are unwilling to volunteer.
During our visit, the volunteers acknowledged the difficulty of the current situation: if they appreciate the time spent with the dogs, the load to carry is extremely heavy for them, and leaves no room for anything else...
8. We have to help them
Threatened to be put to sleep by its former owner, Čupko was rescued by the association. He suffers from chronic skin problems
Gaja was just a puppy when he was rescued by the volunteers: at the shelter for several years, he remains easily frightened
Gala is only 8 months old, and was found abandoned at a feeding point on the street. She is one of the dogs fed every day in the streets, which are not hosted in any enclosure
Žabica was found when she was just a puppy: she was part of a pack of several dogs, and wandered in the middle of the road...
At only 8 months, Bombica is one of the youngest dogs cared for by the volunteers
Stafordica used to be a street dog before her rescue: threatened by the inhabitants because she was barking a lot, she was sheltered by the volunteers
9. In Serbia, 100,000 street dogs are hunted down by dogcatchers to be killed or trapped in mouroirs pounds
It is estimated that Serbia has about 100,000 stray dogs. Private companies were commissioned in 2012 to capture these dogs: their dogcatchers (the name given to the employees responsible for the capture) have been operating throughout the country since then.
Receiving bonuses for each dog captured, dogcatchers hunt dogs relentlessly, and use extremely violent capture techniques. Many dogs are killed, the others end up crammed into mouroir pounds, without care or food.
Volunteers believe that their actions, in addition to being cruel, do not have a beneficial impact on the volume of stray dogs in the country. Worse still, they greatly undermine the beneficial actions that have existed until now: the subsidies allocated since 2007 as part of a vast national sterilization program have been drastically cut, despite encouraging results when they were carried out....
10. Day after day, Ana fights to help Zajecar's dogs
Ana (left) and Ivana, two volunteers who are dedicated to the association
Involved in the association for more than 5 years, Ana goes to the shelter every day. Maintenance, care, veterinary trips, adoptions, rescues... The burden is extremely heavy for this young girl, who has not even finished her studies yet.
"It's very difficult to reconcile everything, the shelter leaves no time for anything else: neither friends, nor family, nor myself. Much less a job."
"The situation is terrible, it just never stops. Until the government chooses to enforce the laws, punish irresponsible landlords, and invest more money in sterilization campaigns, nothing will change. Animal welfare associations need so much more support, especially from the government, to fight against abuse, intensive livestock farming and abandonment"
11. What will the collected kibble be used for ?
If this collectin succeeds, the 3000 kg of kibble collected will be delivered to the association Beta Zajecar, and used to feed the 150 dogs she cares for, and those she might rescue.
12. 100% transparency guaranteed
- Animal Webaction has been helping more than 833 animal welfare associations over the past 5 years, with more than 1,967 deliveries in 8 countries (see photos).
- We make sure to contact each partner association, inquire to ensure its reliability and always ask for supporting documents.
- Our partner associations only receive physical products, which means we never send money. When you offer 10kg of food, we deliver 10kg of food to the association.
- We also deal with transportation ourselves, and make sure all the products collected are properly brought where the association needs them to be, so a quick delivery is guaranteed.
- We will notify you by email as soon as the product bought thanks to your donation has been delivered.
- We will ask the association to take pictures of the food received, and will send you these pictures.
- If you change your mind, we will refund your donation upon request, without charge or proof of any kind.
- If unfortunately the collection fails, we will not deliver anything, we will refund you the full amount of your donation.
