1. In Serbia, Danijela is almost out of kibble to feed the 95 dogs of her association. They will starve if nobody intervenes!
"Spaske is a non-profit association, we rely on donations, and if there aren't any, like right now during the pandemic, we can't feed our 95 dogs.
Over the past few weeks, we have had to buy low-quality kibble as we had too little money. Some dogs had diarhea because of it, but they still forced themselves to eat it as there was nothing else… We have also fed them less than their fill, saving up kibble so it could last longer, until being left today with only 3 bags of kibble.
We are very afraid that the lack of food endangers the dogs' health: with deprivation, dogs' immune systems weaken and they are much more likely to get sick. And once our stock of kibble is depleted for good, I am terrified they might go back to what they were on the streets: living corpses."
2. Danijela already has had to give up rescues due to the lack of kibble, the lives of dozens of dogs are at risk!
"Another big part of our action is to feed and rescue as many street dogs as possible. However, the lack of kibble threatens them directly: no one else will feed or rescue them unless we do, and there is no way we can continue rescuing new dogs without food.
Meanwhile, the number of dogs in distress keeps growing: in addition to the 30 street dogs I regularly feed, many dogs, especially purebreds and puppies, were abandoned with the new wave of covid. Besides, there is this organisation called 'Avenija MB' that catches strays, neuters them, then throws them out to die again, in places where they are less likely to be spotted…
As a result, as soon as one round of dogs is rescued from the streets, another one comes in… Our means are limited, though, and we already had to deny new dogs our care a few times. It is a terrible feeling, rejecting these poor souls because there is no other choice."
3. Left for dead with two broken legs, Jay will not regain the strength he needs to recover if he has no kibble.
"We found Jay on the streets, he had 2 broken legs, probably after being hit by a car. Passers-by reported to us that he had been laying there for days before we were called.
Jay had to spend a month immobilised. Now that his plaster casts have been removed, he should be able to walk again, but we can see he is struggling and that rehabilitation will take a long time.
He is an 8-month-old Kangal dog, he will need to gather much strength and if he lacks proper nutrition and kibble, he may not have enough energy to learn to walk again."
4. Due to the impossibility of obtaining donations, the association has exhausted all its funds and Danijela can no longer buy kibble to the dogs.
"The pandemic still very much affects us, a lot of people simply stopped helping us. I also used to visit catering facilities to pick up leftover food; now I can't do that anymore, restaurants are closed and ceremonies like weddings are cancelled.
We can't rely on any help from the city hall either, in fact they are already so overwhelmed that they have asked us to take in sick dogs from the pound. More dogs means more kibble, it means we need to work even harder to manage to raise the money we need for them.
And it creates another problem: vet debts have accumulated to several thousands of euros, as donations can't cover the fees either. I am afraid we might not be able to take the dogs to the vet anymore because we owe too much or have to prioritise food. The lives of the dogs are at stake and they really depend on people’s good will."
5. Danijela is not asking for money, only kibble to prevent dogs at Spaske from starving.
"I guess I could say I have been volunteering since I was little. My grandpa rescued animals, and I went along with him… That was 40 years ago. I grew to love animals, I saw their suffering and developed empathy towards them.
Eventually, 8 years ago, I came to the resolution of helping badly injured dogs, who had little chance of surviving on the street nor in public pounds due to lack of proper medical care. Out of the two shelter we actually founded, one is 100% dedicated to disabled dogs and is managed by my friend Jovica.
I never expected that my association would grow this much, but since people massively disobey the law, not sterilising nor microchiping their dogs, and throwing pregnant dogs out, the number of dogs has never diminished. Around 3000 dogs have now passed through our shelters!"
6. If this campaign succeeds, Danijela will not receive any money but 2000 kg of kibble, delivered from Animal Webaction's logistics platform in Serbia.
Animal Webaction has a logistics platform directly in Serbia, which enables us to intervene quickly and deliver kibbles.
7. Calls for donations and action are totally hampered by the pandemic, the dogs' lives depend on this campaign!
"We posted on social media recently that we were left without food, we received some donations but our supporters can't provide as much as they used to… The pandemic has taken a toll on everyone. We also tried to make a public action, but we were not allowed to, as public gatherings are forbidden.
We feel powerless, as if our hands were tied. Our private personal funds are far from enough to cover all the dogs' needs: kibble, medicine, vaccines, flea & tick treatments, etc.
We don't want our dogs to become skinny and distressed, it would be terrible. They depend on us, and if we can't feed them, it would be the same as letting them roam on the streets. This kibble campaign is necessary if we want to continue our work."
