help the dogs

L.S.

The

StraydogsCampaign is getting many requests for help and we review each seperate

request very carefully. This because our time, means and human resources are

limited and we like to make sure that the help we offer is effective and that

is goes to that project which needs help the most at that time.

Unfortunately we

have to disregard most of the requests with nothing else we can do but point

them to other organisations.

This

time however, we received a request that we believe realy needs our and

your support very badly.

Through

Banu Erguder, former employee of the SHKD, we received a request regarding

2 ladies in Instanbul. Both of these ladies have dedicated their lifes to the

dogs and they are both living among and with the dogs for years and years on

two adjecent, fallowed pieces of ground.

This

dogcentre exists of two parts. One part is occupied by Cemile who is taking

care of approximately 100 dogs there. Some 50% of these dogs are small

(mixed)breeds and the other 50% are medium sized (mixed) breeds. And then there

are about 4 large (mixed) breed dogs. Often people bring her even more

dogs. Cemile lives on the same site as the dogs in a small, 1 room

wooden building that was donated to her as well as 4 containers. The site

on which Cemile lives with the dogs has no electricity or running water.

There

is a watertank and the municipality will fill the tank when needed. But that is

all the help she is getting from the municipality.

There

are 2 women that help Cemile with the medical expenses, if needed, Cemile

can take a dog to the veterinary clinic and these 2 women will pay for

it. Another woman is helping by sending bread three times a week for the

dogs. And a caring gentleman has donated the use of his car, 6 times a week, so

a search for food by hotels, restaurants and factories can

be held.

The

dogs and their current shelters...

In the

other part of the dogcentre lives Nilufer together with 300 dogs. For the past

19 years she has cared for hundreds and hundreds of stray dogs all by herself.

Half of the 300 dogs here are medium sized dogs, the other half are big sized

dogs. And there are about 10 tiny dogs, Yorkshire Terrier sized. Nilufer

receives less support than Cemile and therefore she is spending 2 till 3 hours a day only with collecting some food for the dogs. After

that, she's another 5 till 6 hours a day busy feeding the dogs, providing

them with water and with cleaning the terrain. Nilufer has 2 containers

that were donated to her for the dogs. All dogs in this part are neutered/spayed

and were vaccinated some time ago. Like Cemile, Nilufer has no electricity or

running water available to her. She too has a watertank that the municipality

fills, if needed. There is one woman helping Nilufer with the medical

expenses of the dogs.

This

past summer both ladies and the dogs had to move because the site

they used for their dogcentre was being sold. Luckily both ladies

found a new site and with the help of a lady who has donated fencing materials

and with the help of a company who

donated labour, the current sites are now fenced in and the new site for the

dogs is ready as described above.

But

when they were moving from the previous site to this current location,

many of the dogshelters fell apart due to the miserable condition they were in.

Most of Cemile's dogs will be able to get through the winter with the help of

the containers that can be used as shelter for the dogs. But for Nilufer's dogs

there is not nearly enough shelter for the dogs to find some form

of protection from the elements. There are 150 dogshelters needed to

provide each dog with a shelter. And with winter approaching rapidly, urgency

is needed.

During

the course of this story, you will have noticed that there is no money going on

in this dogcentre, goods and services are donated...but there are no financial

means whatsoever.

The

shelters that did survive the removal....

Because

this dogcentre is completely depending on the unpaid work of these two ladies,

the donations made by some caring locals and the kindness of a few bakeries

that donate bread, there is no possibility whatsoever that money can be found

or raised for the 150 dogshelters that are so badly needed.

With

the images of Istanbul, last winter, still in mind, the enormous amounts of snow, the cold

temperatures, the StraydogsCampaign is convinced we need to do anything in our

power to help these dogs make it through the winter.

Look

at our own dogs, nice and warm curled up in their basket, on their own dogbed

maybe...or perhaps even curled up on or in our own beds. And to think that

these dogs in the dogcentre will have to survive the winter outside, cold

and wet, with no protection from the wind, rain or freezing cold,

then we simply must be able to help these dogs.

We

will inform you on our website about this " Help these dogs through the

winter " action. There, you will find the updates on this action and we

will inform you about the exact amount of dogshelters the action has brought in

up till date.

The

costs of one dogshelter, including materials and labour, are 25 euro.
