In this regard, we also share the post from yesterday at the “Street Hearts” shelter in the village of Glushka:
There are 34 dogs on the waiting list, and today Municipality of Dryanovo
rescued six little ones that had no chance of survival. They built a temporary enclosure by the volunteer’s house, so they were safe.
Puppies are five weeks old and in terrible shape. They are full of fleas, ticks and worms. They were vaccinated, dewormed and got lots of love today. Six innocent pallets should have never been born before and left to die. Temperatures are dropping, and snow is forecast.
