Helping animals in need is a rewarding but also a very hard work. The help provided by the volunteers often makes the difference between life and death. Behind every story of a saved animal there are a few compassionate people who’ve opened their hearts and spent time and energy to give it a chance for better life.

ARS invites you to join our efforts and help with what you can in:

• walking and playing with the dogs of Bogrov;
  
• cleaning and socializing the dogs in Bogrov;
  
• campaigning for donations, food and materials;
• writing and researching projects, administrating etc.

Volunteering in Bogrov:

Bogrov is always welcoming to serious and hard-working volunteers who’d like to join our efforts by cleaning and walking the dogs. Contact us if you’d like to help on the spot or if you can offer transport help.

Volunteers in Bogrov (there are more photos in the GALLERY)

We have no address for Bogrov, as it is ousde the village of Gorni Bogrov, but you can find a decent map HERE, scroll to the bottom. Please, bear in mind there are no caffeterias near by, so you’d need to bring along a lunch and something to drink. Also – don’t forget you need the right clothing, dogs do tend to keep it messy. Once on the spot you’ll be instructed by a senior volunteer or ARS team member what would be most useful for you to do that day – it may be walking, brushing, bathing, feeding, cleaning or sorting-out the storage.

Foster care:

We have about 20 foster homes and are in need for more. Most of the fosters at ARS are dog-lovers who already have one or more animals of their own. ARS supports the fosters and keeps contact with them on all important issues while looking for a permanent home for the animal. Every foster family may have a prefference and there are many animals in Seslavci needing help. ARS always considers the fosters requierments and there is information about every particular animal that needs urgently a foster home.

If you would like to join us in this quest – read more on becoming a FOSTER.  You can also take a look at some of our FOSTER TESTEMONIALS. Few things are as rewarding as foster care – it’s a bit like farming – you plant a ceed of trust and friendship in a dog that’s been abused and mistreated and than you wach it turn into a trusting friendly animal as your love grows inside it…

We are in need of active and resourceful people for the following campaigns:

• Organizing a photography contest and exhibition under the slogan: “Friendship has no breed”;
• Promoting a method of corporate charity and “Donations – Not Flowers” at corporate events;
• Creating steady routes in the media – promoting our work and reinforcing public awareness;
• Engaging schools and running educational programs for children aged 7-11; 12-18.

Being an Animal Rescue Sofia volunteer is a cool and rewarding job – you meet other nice people and do allot of helpful work:
