THEY NEED OUR HELP

 OUR ASSOCIATION HAS BEEN ESTABLISHED IN 1991.

OUR ORGANISATION IS FOUNDER MEMBER OF MIDDLE EAST NETWORK FOR ANIMAL WELFARE(MENAW)SINCE 2006.

          WHEN WE STARTED ON SHELTER PROGRAM ,  THERE WERE A LOT OF HOMELESS DOGS AND CATS AROUND THE CITY STREETS. THEY WERE IN NEED OF HELP BECAUSE SOME OF THEM WERE SICK AND SOME OF THEM WERE SO OLD, SOME OF THEM WERE ABANDONED BY THEIR OWNERS .IT WAS SO SAD AND UNFORTUNATE THAT   THE MUNICIPALITY AND MAYOR WERE NOT INTERESTED IN ANIMAL RIGHTS.

          AFTER WE OPENED OUR SHELTER WE STARTED TO PICK UP HOMELESS/SICK DOGS AND CATS AROUND THE CITY AND TRIED  TO FIND NEW OWNERS FOR THEM.   WE ALSO  CONTROL THEIR HEALTH. WE ARE TRYING TO MAKE THE ANIMALS LIFE BETTER. THIS IS OUR MAIN GOAL.531 DOGS ARE N&R BY OUR ORGANISATIONS WITH HELP OF SOME ANIMAL FRIENDS, DONATORS AND SPONSORS.ALSO ALL OF THEM ARE VACCINATED BY OUR ORGANISATIONS WITH HELP OF GOVERNORS OF KUTAHYA.WE WANT TO THANK TO ALL GOVERNORS OF KUTAHYA,DONATORS AND SPONSORS.    

          WE WERE TRYING TO CARE AND FEED ANIMALS WHICH WERE LIVING AT SHELTER WITH HELP OF OUR VOLUNTEERS,DONATORS AND ANIMAL FRIENDS SINCE 1991 .AFTER 2006 KUTAHYA MUNICIPALITY TOOK ALL RESPONSIBILITY AND MANAGEMENT OF SHELTER.AT SAME TIME MAYOR OF KUTAHYA LIMITED ENTRANCE TO SHELTER FOR VOLUNTEERS OF OUR ORGANISATIONS.NOW WE CAN VISIT SHELTER JUST FOR 2 DAYS FOR 2 HOURS AND JUST 2 PERSONS PER WEEK.600 OF 800 DOGS AND 200 AROUND CATS RELEASED FROM SHELTER.

          HOWEWER, NO FEEDING POINTS AS YET AND THAT'S BIG PROBLEM FOR THE ANIMALS BECAUSE SOME OF THEM WERE LIVING AT OUR SHELTER SINCE IT WAS OPEN .  AND THEY DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THE OUTSIDE WORLD AND THEY DON'T KNOW HOW CAN THEY FIND MEALS .AFTER THEN NEW SHELTER OPENED ,MAYOR SAID THEY NEUTERD 750 DOGS AND  RELEASED ALSO.THAT SHOWS US THERE MUST BE MORE THEN 1350 STRAYS RELEASED FROM SHELTER SINCE 2006.

         NOW OUR ORGANISATION IS TRYING TO FEED NEUTERED STRAYS WHICH ARE RELEASED FROM SHELTER WITH FEW VOLUNTEERS WITH SO SMALL  BUDGET AND WITH DONATORS HELP.AND VISITING PRIMARY SCHOOLS TO GROW UP STUDENT'S CONSCIOUSNESS  ABOUT ENVIRONMENTS ,ANIMAL WELFARE-RIGHTS,RABIES AND TURKISH ANIMAL RIGHTS LAW 5199.

          I AM VERY HAPPY TO HAVE THIS CHANCE TO INTRODUCE : KUTAHYA DOGA ve HAYVAN SEVENLER DERNEGI TO YOU.
