Animal Rescue Sofia runs the biggest muncipal shelter – the Bogrov shelter.  Read more on how we started this project. The people who work in the shelter are all animal-lovers, dedicated to the cause of stray dogs. The veterinary assistance in Bogrov is provided by vets from our partner clinic – Good Idea. Our head keeper is Vessy Kostourska. See the above photo-tour and come visit us – volunteer or adopt a healthy, loving companion!

HOW TO ADOPT A FRIEND FROM BOGROV?

The adoption of a dog from the Bogrov shelter is free. In addition to that, each dog comes with a full set of vaccine shots, identification microchip, EU passport and castrated. Every adoptee is provided with an Adoption card containing the names of the dog and the number of the microchip. The Adoption card provides the owner with a 20% discount at a partner pet shop as well as 10% discount at the “Good Idea” vet clinic.

The adoption process is the same for everybody – every candidate is required to visit the shelter at least 3 times in order to get to know the dog and think things over carefully. The Vet or the Manager of the shelter interview the candidate trying to determine if s/he is suitable for a dog owner and can provide good care of the animal. During the third visit, the approved candidate can sign a contract and pick up the dog.

Contact us for any questions you might have. You can see some (but far from all) of the lovely dogs we have at the shelter HERE.
