Sjećate se serije/emisije "Dog Town" na National Geographic? E pa ovo je odgovor od njih (za one koji ne govore engleski- ništa od mojih napora na "međunarodnom planu" za sada, ali ne odustajemo!). Poenta: Njemačka ili Holandija ako neko ima iskustava sa njihovim udruženjima, ili takvim načinom udomljavanja- PP molim vas).
Dear (ukinuo svoje ime, nema veze ko sam),
Thank you for writing your very kind and thoughtful letter to Best Friends about Munja and for sending the photos. He looks like a wonderful dog.
Unfortunately, Best Friends receives around 1500 requests every month to help about 8,000 animals. We wish we could accept them all at the sanctuary, but that isn’t possible, and I’m very sorry that we’re not going to be able to offer to take Munja.
We can make some suggestions that we hope will help.
If you go to the website
http://www.worldanimal.com, you will find a directory for animal organizations for every country in the world. This is the link for Bosnia:
http://worldanimalnet.org/new.asp?co=BO ... prov=&cat=
If you contact these organizations—perhaps you could go to visit them—they may be able to either accept Munja at their shelter, or offer some good practical suggestions for help in finding him a home—or perhaps they can offer to work with him to help with some of his aggression problems so that he can be placed in a home. If he is not neutered, being neutered would be helpful with his behavior.
These organizations are probably full, as are nearly all animal organizations everywhere. However, you have written a very compelling, persuasive letter about Munja, along with the photos that you sent, and I feel that if you persevere in contacting people and organizations who love animals, once you have their attention, and have let them know about Munja, that you will find people to help you.
After you have contacted these three groups, you can also use the site worldanimal.net to contact animal organizations in other European countries. There are a great many animal groups in both eastern and western Europe, and many of those in western Europe do regularly take in animals from countries in eastern Europe, so it is very much worth taking the time to contact them. You might try those in Germany and Holland to start with.
Please also ask your friends, neighbors and relatives. You never know who may know someone else who might have an appropriate home and might be able to adopt a dog with some behavior issues.
If you would specifically like help with Munja’s aggression and behavior problems, please contact Sherry Woodward, Best Friends Animal Behaviorist, at the email address above.
Thank you for writing. I’m very sorry that Best Friends cannot help directly. We wish you all the best in your efforts to find help and a good home for Munja.
Best regards,
Sharon
