By finding temporary or permanent new homes for the majority of its dogs within a given deadline of 35 days, Spirit has met the requests of the Veterinary inspection. The main problem with our former shelter has been its location close to houses. Several dogs who were not adopted, have stayed with us and are still looking for new owners, but we have lost our shelter – in other words, we are not allowed to take new dogs to the location of the previous shelter. Therefore, we are forced to find new location for the Association’s shelter, but in the meantime, we cannot simply ignore citizens’ calls and pleas for help after they find an abandoned animal – and in Zagreb, it unfortunately happens practically every day! The city of Zagreb, where we are active, has only one registered shelter for abandoned animals (The City Shelter Dumovec) with the maximum capacity of 150 dogs, although Zagreb’s population is almost one million. Since the number of stray animals in Zagreb is much higher than the capacity of Dumovec and finding new, responsible owners in Croatia is not so easy, people are still calling us, asking for help when they find an abandoned animal. Since we can no longer offer shelter and accomodation, we are trying to arrange for the finders to keep the animal at their home until adoption, which we are trying to speed up by advertising the animal on our web page. If the finder cannot provide foster home for the animal, then we are trying to find some other temporary home for the animal. These animals are not our protégés and they are not placed at the former shelter. The Association is only trying to help them with finding new homes. In the Republic of Croatia, many dogs are still killed every day, mainly due to uncontrolled breeding and the lack of penalizing people who abandon them. As long as this situation remains, Spirit Association will try to reduce the number of dogs killed by finding new homes for the abandoned ones and by castrations. We still need help in advertising the dogs, as well as financial support, because we have no state’s or city’s help in covering the veterinary expenses. We cover the expenses by ourselves and with the donations from our permanent donors, both individual persons and corporations. In the meantime, we are going to continue searching for the appropriate place where we will be able to build a new shelter.« back

Udomivši većinu svojih štićenika u zadanom roku od 35 dana, Spirit je ispunio zahtjeve Veterinarske inspekcije. Glavni problem našeg nekadašnjeg skloništa bila je njegova lokacija u blizini naselja. Onih nekoliko preostalih pasa ostali su kod nas te i dalje traže dom, ali ostali smo bez skloništa, odnosno ne smijemo primati nove pse na lokaciju našeg nekadašnjeg skloništa.Prisiljeni smo pronaći novo mjesto za sklonište, no u međuvremenu, ne možemo se oglušiti na molbe građana koji svakodnevno nalaze pse lutalice u Zagrebu da im pomognemo. Grad Zagreb u kojem djelujemo, iako ima gotovo milijun stanovnika, ima samo jedno registrirano sklonište za napuštene pse (Gradsko sklonište Dumovec), koje ima kapacitet 150 pasa. S obzirom na to da broj lutalica u Zagrebu značajno premašuje kapacitet Dumovca, a udomljavanja u Hrvatskoj idu veoma sporo, građani nam se i dalje obraćaju za pomoć kad pronađu odbačenu životinju. Budući da više ne možemo ponuditi prihvat i smještaj, pokušavamo se s nalaznicima dogovoriti da zadrže i pričuvaju životinju kod sebe do udomljenja, koje nastojimo ubrzati oglašavanjem pronađenih pasa na našim stranicama. Ako nalaznik nije u mogućnosti privremeno prihvatiti pronađenu životinju, tada za nju pokušavamo pronaći drugo privremeno čuvanje do udomljenja. Ti psi nisu naši štićenici i ne nalaze se u našem skloništu, nego im udruga samo pomaže u udomljavanju U Republici Hrvatskoj i dalje se svakodnevno ubijaju brojni psi, ponajviše zbog nekontroliranog razmnožavanja i nekažnjavanja osoba koje pse napuštaju. Dokle je god tako, Spirit će nastojati smanjiti broj ubijenih pasa udomljavanjem i kastracijama. I dalje nam je potrebna pomoć u oglašavanju pasa, kao i financijska potpora jer sami snosimo veliku većinu veterinarskih troškova, naravno uz veliku pomoć naših donatora, fizičkih i pravnih osoba. U međuvremenu naravno nastavljamo s traženjem adekvatnog zemljišta na kojem bismo mogi izgraditi još bolje novo sklonište.« povratak
