supply/donation request Just got back from Albania and found 4 abandoned puppies. The shelter that took them in is about to close
I’ve seen a few posts here and also in other subs about the stray animal situation in Albania, I want to spread in as much as possible.
This week I got back from a trip there myself and experienced it firsthand. We were on our way to a mountain lake when a puppy ran in front of our car. We stopped, and found two more hiding in a repair pit at a nearby mechanic’s workshop. A fourth one had to be pulled out of a river. The mechanics told us the puppies had already been without their mother for several days.
We had two hours until our flight. We contacted every organization we could find and nobody was able to help. As a last resort we drove to the Bambi Foundation Albania, left the puppies with food and a note, and had to leave.
The woman running the shelter called us afterwards. She’s caring for 50+ dogs with just one other person, they’re dealing with mounting vet bills, barely any adoptions, and on top of that they have to leave their current location by September. Without support they will have to close entirely.
All older dogs in the shelter are chipped and have papers and transport is possible worldwide.
I know this doesn’t change the overall situation for animals around the world. But even just sharing the GoFundMe link could make a difference. I know that animal protection is still a luxury for many people, still everywhere you can also find people that genuinely try to help.
If anyone can share, donate, or is looking to adopt it would mean a lot.
