1. Hundreds of dogs get abandoned at the public dump, given over to hunger and sickness. Without kibbles this winter, they'll starve to death!
Rescued while we were on site, this young dog died of a disease a few days later. "Puppies don't survive here, even with our help, only 1 in 5 manage to make it on average," explain the volunteers
Volunteers believe that about 120 dogs now live at the two landfill sites under the worst possible conditions. "They are all sick, they are all hungry. When you step in to the dump…your stomach twists, since you know that there you can see death following you in every step!" Marija explained a few days ago
Starving, dogs have no choice but to feed on the remains of other animals, often already rotting...
There are way more dogs to rescue than what the volunteers can take in their shelter... if they gather as many as possible, they can only hope to alleviate the suffering of those who remain there, at the very least by bringing them food: but they no longer have any kibbles!
Away from the city center and from prying eyes, the dump is a very well known place for abandonment: unwanted litters, ageing, sick or newly unwanted dogs are regularly thrown into it like common garbage.
"If you can imagine all the pain in the world gathered on only one place…than you must be speaking for the DUMP! They are all sick, they are all hungry. When you step in to the dump…your stomach twists, since you know that there you can see death following you in every step!" Marija tries to explain.
Because there are so many of them, it is impossible for Ivana and Marija to take them all in their small shelter, the greatest number must be cared for and fed on the spot, but they no longer have any kibbles to bring them!
2. The kibble stock is already used up, the dogs are hungry
The situation is unsustainable for volunteers, who feel helpless...
During our visit on November 9th, there were just 4 bags of kibbles left.... Volunteers have no choice but to limit the quantities given out to make it last
We went with Marija and Ivana to the dump that day. Only 10 kg of kibbles could be distributed to the dogs, mixed with a little bread, milk and some eggs, thanks to the few donations received
On November 9th, our agent Simona visited the volunteers, and accompanied them to both sites of the landfill, as well as to the shelter. At that time, only 40 kg of kibble remained, a very small amount to feed all the dogs they care for.
"This weekend they were starving they would eat practically anything. They are really hungry" Marija told us on November 13. After several days without kibble, the volunteers managed to buy a few bags, but those will also be finished in a few days.
A catastrophic situation, confirmed by Simona: "They live in horrible conditions, they don’t have place were to sleep, stay or food to eat. If Ivana and Marija don’t go out to feed them they will probably starve to death."
3. Despite many calls for help, the situation is not improving, Marija and Ivana beg us to intervene
Marija is desperately trying to make people aware of the situation...
From England, a loyal supporter is trying to bring together more people to support volunteers in the field. But debts are constantly accumulating, and all fear that the situation will quickly deteriorate...
Ivana and Marija are desperately trying to get more support, both locally and through social networks. But their calls for help don't have a significant impact, and do not allow them to move forward...
From England, a loyal support is trying to bring more people together, and fundraising in various forms, but the scale is small and debts are accumulating.
"We urgently need your help ... every "little" for them is VERY big, every donation means a day more security, a full stomach, or a healthy dog. In the absence of hearing in the state, the burden is on activists and animal lovers ..." Ivana explains.
4. We must help Ivana and Marija to protect them
Bigi has been in the dump for many months now. He is suffering from a skin disease and, like the others here, is in poor health. The kibbles and care provided by Marija and Ivana have already improved his condition, which is likely to deteriorate again without kibbles
At the dump for only a few weeks, Sonny has not yet suffered many after-effects from the living conditions he undergoes there, but relies heavily on the food brought by Ivana and Marija
Injured in the hind leg, Sivcho moves with difficulty. In search of food, the dogs in the landfill often move on the adjacent road, injuries are frequent
Born in the dump, these two 7-month-old puppies and their brother were named the "Happy 3" by the volunteers, as the survival of the puppies at the dump is so rare
Arrived at the dump a few months ago, Scarry remains very frightened by any human presence, and only meets volunteers from a distance
5. If we don't reach the target, dogs won't receive anything
A failed collection on Animal Webaction
We can take action, we have already booked a truck and pallets, but we have to pay it before November 22nd.
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 the collection fails, we will refund all donors.
6. Veterinary care is relentless, and the costs for volunteers are enormous
An elderly dog living at the dump, Majka suffers from a large abdominal tumour, which opened during our visit. Too scared to be captured, she had to be sedated, and will have to be sedated again for her surgery
Discovered trapped and injured on the highway shortly before our arrival, Simone was taken to the vet in an emergency. Simone suffers from a broken leg, but also from a tumour and complications, a lot of medical care is needed
Rescued following a report, Phoenix has been in care since the end of October, but is still far from being cured. Burdened by illness and neglect, he still has a long way to go
In the distress they live in, few dogs only do not require veterinary treatment or surgery upon their rescue, not to mention spaying and neutering, which are essential in order not to make things worse on the spot...
Each treatment represents a significant cost for volunteers, who cannot do without veterinary care. "The cane corso needs an urgent surgery that wil cost us at least 300e(only the surgery it self) And, I feel if I continue speaking I will start crying out of helplessness... We feel desperate, but because we are afraid how on earth we will manage to keep them all safe???" Marija said a few days ago.
7. At the shelter, 50 dogs hosted by Ivana are also without kibbles
Found poisoned on the street, Kal and Fido remained in critical condition for 1 full week, and have been on treatment for 1 month. Only Kal has recovered enough strength to be able to stand up for now
Hit by a car, Zabche had his jaw broken, heavy care and surgery were required to repair it, and to contain an infection
Discovered in a state of extreme thinness and covered with wounds a few weeks ago, Koskichka needs to eat twice as much as the other dogs in the shelter
Abandoned by her owners, Mila became ill, and was rescued by Ivana. She is still in quarantine because she has a skin disease that is contagious to other dogs
A few weeks ago, Bebe was discovered wandering and was only skin and bones. Brought to the shelter, she is under great vigilance
Tigrica had been living for months at the dump, where she gave birth to several litters because it was impossible to catch her. She was captured after our visit and neutered, and has since been taken in
Nowadays, the shelter hosts about fifty dogs, most of them rescued from the dump or the street. While their living conditions at the shelter are much better than outside, they all have already experienced traumas that have left them weakened.
In winter, Ivana struggles to bring them water, clean the pens, and keep the dogs warm, they need more kibbles to face this season, but are also impacted by the food shortage !
8. The government refuses to intervene, there are not enough donations to sustain the activity
Requests to the town hall, search for sponsors from foreign associations and private companies, calls for help on the social media and to their relatives... Volunteers tried multiple approaches to get help.
Some of them have undeniably worked, volunteers receive valuable assistance for the adoption of dogs, as well as financial or in-kind donations. But these are totally random, and largely insufficient to meet the needs on the ground.
9. Ivana and Marija are doing everything they can for abandoned dogs
To take care of the dogs, Ivana has set up the shelter on her own property, and has been ensuring for over 10 years that all abandoned animals are cared for as well as possible
Ivana, Marija and 4 other volunteers are the only volunteers of the association. Organized, dedicated and extremely committed, they devote all their free time to the protection of abandoned dogs
"An association ... no matter what, is made up of a few people, most often 2-3 people who give soul and heart, almost all their salaries, free time, and all the love they have ... and they never ask for anything in return . Why? It's simple .... because all they need is a beautiful story with a happy ending to immediately be reminded why they are doing all this."
"Giving it our best, pushing boundaries and the never ending struggle for every single life, brings many traumas .... every loss of life causes us immense pain, and steals a piece of our hearts ....
We try to help everywhere, we do not pass on responsibility to others, and so we have ALWAYS animals."
10. In Macedonia, stray dogs are subjected to atrocities, both from the state itself and from local people
A petition launched a few months ago to fight poisonings in Tetovo, a neighboring city of Skopje
With an estimated population of 1 million street dogs, Macedonia regularly carries out mass extermination campaigns aimed at "cleaning the streets", at least temporarily. The last nationwide campaign in 2017 was particularly violent and led to numerous protests, including international ones. The most common method remains poisoning, which leads to slow agony (sometimes several days) for the affected dogs.
Beyond national measures, the treatment of dogs on a smaller scale also remains very harsh. Many municipalities practice poisoning on their own initiative, and the inhabitants themselves are often hostile to street dogs. Carried out with impunity, acts of cruelty perpetrated by individuals are numerous (acts of torture, strangulation, wild abandonment, etc.) and unpunished.
11. What will the 2400 kg collected be used for ?
This collection is organized by the Civic Initiative Kane Korzo Nadez Skopje Association. The 2400 kilos of kibble collected will be delivered to Ivana to feed the 50 dogs hosted in its shelter as well as the dogs from the landfill.
