Shelter life can be SO BORING!!!<\/strong><\/p>\n

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

Laying arround all day with nothing to do… Eat, sleep, bark somewhat, pick a few fights and… that’s all. Living in the shelter of Bogrov sure is easy. No need to scramp for food or run for your life all the time. Noone to harrass you, beat you, threaten you or just chase you away. But still – living in a cage is not what dogs are made for. Dogs are born to live with humans and enjoy their company, sniff grass and go on long walks… And here they are – 500 of them, sitting arround with pretty much nothing to do…<\/p>\n

Sometimes even getting a hold of a bunch of weeds can make the difference between a day when all you can do is pick fights with your roommates and a day when you can actually play with them:<\/p>\n

Although we get wonderful help from the volunteers who come to walk the dogs on weekends – it’s really not enough to keep the dogs happy. We’ve tried giving them the regular toys, but it’s not the best idea. A few balls were accidentaly washed into the canal and caused a sewer blocage, and the rubber toys they got were an object of envy and scandals in the few hours before they were simply chewed away.We’ve com up to a simple notion:<\/p>\n

WE NEED SOME SERIOUS TOYS HERE! <\/strong><\/p>\n

So, the first thing we can do is find something the dogs can safely chew on… Something that is not too tasty, because fights are easy to brake in a confined area. Something like simple burning wood for example. Also we need very strong rope – we have an idea – to tie some motorcycle tires to the cage walls, so the dogs would be able to chew and pull on them without making a mess everywhere.<\/p>\n
