Bulgaria has a problem with Street Dogs...
Somehow, now we have problem with street dogs. 
What started as a town neutering campaign has found us currently housing close to thirty dogs...in our garden....and, because some are sick, or small, or injured...in our actual house. We're making it work; because we want to, because we can, and because no-one else will. But we need some help. 

Where we're at:
We've rehomed close to 80 dogs.
We've neutered close to 230.
We vaccinate, we medicate, we microchip, we passport, we operate, we educate, we enable, we help, we nurse, and we give our own time and money. 

We have a good relationship with the mayor of our town, Dryanavo, and there is now a small budget for our 'catch and release' neutering programme. With some dogs we have an assurance that they will be fed and even sheltered but with others we are reluctant to return them - past experiences have proven that they inevitably wind up on our doorstep with medical issues that could have been avoided. 

We are currently helping dogs who have the potential to make the transition to a new life with owners who will feed and care for them. Seeing pictures of former street dogs on sofas and rugs, living the good life, makes everything worthwhile. 

And that's the long and the short of it - we can't stop making the difference that we're making for these dogs, but it costs us time and money that we don't have. 

Anything that you donate will go directly to the dogs, just like the money I used to spend on shoes and clothes and makeup - luckily, the dogs don't seem to care about my appearance! 

Additional Info:

Our transport costs are already subsidised - it only costs us £25 to get them to the wonderful UK shelters who find homes for them.

We do not recieve funds from the council for cat neutering and the budget for dogs goes directly to our brilliant vet. It's amazing to have the support and the validation for what we're doing but it's unlikely to last the year.

We are in the process of applying for charity status but we're not there yet!

Thank you,
Street Hearts!
