We are doing our best to find our dogs good and responsible families. We have an announcement in a weekly local newspaper but also give announcements for adoptions at the local radios. When a person comes at the shelter and wants to adopt a dog, we put him many questions and also ask him to fill in a form, in order to know more about him and his family. After adoption, we visit the dog as often as we have the possibility in order to see if he is well taken care of and if he is happy there. If we notice that the new home is not good enough, we take him back to the shelter and try to find a better home.

ADOPTING PROCEDURE

When there comes someone to the shelter in order to adopt a dog he had to follow some steps before the adoption itself. First, we put him lots of questions about himself, about him/her family, place where they live and schedule. After this, we suggest them a dog that we think would suit their behaviour and activity as well as telling them the conditions that he has to respect in order to be a responsible owner.

We usually don’t give the dogs on the spot,so we ask the potential owner to come again whenever it is possible for him and after thinking at what we have told them regarding ownership, if agreeing.

Bellow, is a form that every owner has to fill in, containing information about him and also he has to sign that he agrees our conditions.

VISITING THE ADOPTED DOGS

Whenever it is possible for us, or it happens to hear that something is not going well, we go to visit the dogs that we gave for adoption, to see their condition. If the dog is not good taken care of we have the right to take him back.

Prayer of a Stray

Dear God, please send me somebody who’ll care!
I’m tired of running; I’m sick with despair.

My body is aching; it’s so racked with pain,
And Dear God, I pray as I run in the rain.

That someone will love me and give me a home,
A warm cozy bed and a big juicy bone.

My last owner tied me all day in the yard,
Sometimes with no water and God, that was hard!

So I chewed my leash God and I ran away,
To rummage in garbage and lives as a stray.

But now God I’m tired, hungry and cold,
And I’m so afraid that I’ll never grow old.

They’ve chased me with sticks and hit me with stones,
While I run the streets just looking for bones!

I’m not really bad God; please help me if You can,
For I have become just a "victim of man".

I’m wormy dear God and I’m ridden with fleas,
While all I want is an owner to please!

If you find one for me God I’ll try to be good,
I won’t chew their shoes and I’ll do, as I should.

I’ll love them protect them and try to obey,
When they tell me to sit, to lie down or stay!

I don’t think I’ll make it too long on my own,
‘Cause I’m getting so weak and I’m all alone.

Each night as I sleep in the bushes – I cry….
I’m so afraid God that I’m gonna die!

And I’ve got so much love and devotion to give,
That I should be given a new chance to live.

So dear God please, please answer my prayer,
And send me SOMEBODY who will really care…..

That is dear God if you’re really there?!
