Last year, we discovered truly shocking conditions at the municipal dog shelter in the town of Ulcinj in Montenegro.

The town provided dog food only intermittently, workers said they had not been paid for months and when we asked about medical care, the manager shrugged and said a vet came “sometimes.” If dogs were sick, he killed them.

When we talked to town officials, they asked us to be patient because the man responsible had left. We received promises that the dreadful situation would be resolved when a new person was appointed.

Those words meant nothing!

The situation is worse than ever. The fact that the shelter does not have a permanent permit to operate in two years since it opened, speaks for itself.

We asked why the cages weren’t cleaned. It turned out all the workers had left. The manager has no idea if he will get new ones.

When our team visited, the dogs were wet and cold, shivering and trembling. And they had no food!

The shelter has no furniture, no medicines or medical equipment. We spoke with a vet who is responsible for the welfare of the animals…

After we pleaded with him, he agreed to postpone the execution. We are urgently trying to find the funds to give the dogs medical treatment and improve their living conditions.

Please help us fight for these poor dogs who are basically being left to die, out of sight and out of mind. We can’t wait while the municipality cynically waits for them to get sick and die. We need to help NOW. Please give generously to Network for Animals today, so we can help dogs who desperately need our love and support.

For the animals,
