WAYS YOU CAN GET INVOLVED
Your generosity will mean that our shelters can go on caring for our animals in need and find them loving new homes. This means we can buy their food, bowls, toys. Keep our dogs an other animals warm, safe an well.
Here are some examples of our costs:
We pay about 12000 rubles (circa 160 EURO) for each stray dog to be caught, sterilised, assessed medically and tested socially. This sum of money enables us to prepare our dogs for rehoming. It gives them a chance to become a loved family member one day in future.
We pay about 9000 Rubles (120 EURO) for each stray cat to be caught and similarly assessed. This also gives them a chance to be adopted in future.
Any amount donated by you today will get our animals closer to being a loving and loved family member some day in future.
Also our shelters are always in need of the following supplies that you can buy direct from the pet stores:
Pet food and treats
Dog leads and collars, grooming items

Welcome a furry friend into your life by sponsoring one of our dogs. Please see full list of our lovely dogs in the catalogue.
Monthly cost of keeping a dog at one of our shelters is around 5000 Rub (65 EURO) to 8000 Rub (100 EURO) per month.
We appreciate that not everyone are able to pay that much sponsorship per month however you can commit to any regular amounts per month for however long you want and choose one of our dogs to be sponsored.
