\u00a0<\/strong>The shelter is a permanent home for 500 dogs. This means 300 waving tales, 1000 impatient eyes looking at the volunteers and about 2000 paws tramping simultaneously and awaiting their turn for a walk, embrace and love.
\nIf you have ever been in the shelter, you perfectly know what I am talking about. And if you have not \u2013 believe me, you cannot even imagine how many dogs and hopes live behind these bars.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\u00a0\"\"<\/a>\u00a0\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Therefore, for us it is extremely important to distribute our time correctly and to manage with the hard task to walk all cages full of unfortunate creatures, only for 2 days! And not only to walk them, but to run with them, to play, to pet, to comb, to calm, to feed with biscuits and etc\u2026 overall things that make both them and us happy.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\u00a0\"\"<\/a>\u00a0\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\u00a0\"\"<\/a>\u00a0\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The sacred aim is 18 cages, and in each of them you can find different by size, age, weight, color and character dogs. Everyone who has been in the shelter, leaves with at least 3-4 favorites and has named at least one of them. We have Mecho \/from bear\/, Sharo, Samy, Drebcho \/from small\/, Shaggy \/from hairy\/ and these are not 5 different dogs but just one, with 5 different nicknames =)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\u00a0\"\"<\/a>\u00a0\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

There always is one sly dog, which refuses to go back in the cage, winning a few more freedom minutes<\/em><\/p>\n

This weekend was incredible, like all others \u2013 new faces, happy dogs, funny stories and organized volunteers. Many of them! We not only succeeded in walking all 18 cages and to pay special attention to the Kremikovtsi doggies, a large part of which now trust us and walk freely outside, but also, we walked the dogs from the Oldies home and those in the outside cages on the way to the smeller building. Heavenly happiness for all!!!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\u00a0\"\"<\/a>\u00a0\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I remember that during the first months when the shelter opened, there were articles where we were mentioned name by name all present volunteers to thank them, although they were rarely over 10 people. During the last few weeks, I am happy we don\u2019t practice this anymore, since 2 weeks ago we had over 40 volunteers, and this week we had over 20, so I cannot imagine how I\u2019ll sit and write name after name. In spite of that, each one of you<\/strong> is a little sunshine for our inhabitants, and the more of you come, the more you shine and you endow our dogs with the necessary amount of diversity, happiness, warmth, love, gut for life. Thank you, for not forgetting them!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\u00a0\"\"<\/a>\u00a0\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

As I promised, the dogs honored the women for the holiday 8th<\/sup> of March and spread a lot of kisses and hugs<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
