RE: My first trip with Animal Care Austria, Serbia 2015, part 1 | photographic stories as a volunteer | reportrage

@shlomit, unfortunately things in Srebia don't work on many aspects and dogs come to that also..Many people take puppies for their children while they are kids and after a while they can't take care of them, children played with a toy :( and dog ends up on the street..We have huge problem with stray dogs on the streets of capital I live, since they are forming packs and not so rare attack people..I don't judge dogs ever, I was learned to love them and respect them..But we live in country without laws and dogs are also victims of this anarchy..Thank you for sharing this...

I know.. this is a very sad situation...
The shelters supported by Animal Care Austria, not only in Serbia, but also in Hungary for instance, are constantly in full capacity. As much as people here adopt them, there are just as much surrendered/found there. The breeders breed them more and more, so often in very bad conditions, exactly for those who want to buy a "toy" for their child and then these dogs end up suffering on the streets.
I am just so grateful for all of these saints there, that dedicate their lives in helping them <3

Yes, you are right I wasn't thinking about breeders, they must be true problem in this chain..Some of them are just seeing dogs as money not as a living creatures. Love dogs, so much but not having one. I am living alone and it would be so sad for me knowing that he would be alone whole day while I am at work :( My father thought me that it's also not fair to leave a dog alone in a small apartment..One day I will have my dog friend for sure :)

Yes, unfortunately that's how they see them... :(

I totally understand you, when I was living alone in a small apartment and constantly traveling, I also couldn't have my dog with me. I hope that someday soon you could have one (at least ;) ) too, as they bring so much love and joy with them <3
