Besides constant political tensions, the Southeast European country Kosovo faces problems with its massive stray dog population. In the capital city of Prishtina alone, an estimated 3.000 stray dogs roam the streets in a daily struggle to find food and shelter.
With basically no access to medical treatments or regular sources of nourishment, life for these dogs is hard enough already. They are facing numerous dangers such as starving or freezing to death, drowning in poison rivers, getting hit in traffic or being attacked by other dogs.
This is why in 2023 FOUR PAWS prepared a ️ trip to Kosovo to get some help to these animals and support the local communities in dealing with the stray animal population. A group of highly skilled vets and dog catchers from our nearby 🇧🇬 Bulgarian team was sent over for a 10 day mission. Together with local partner ProVetGjakove and with the support of StrayCoCo, we wanted to provide sterilisations, vaccinations and other treatments.
We were able to treat 253 animals together with our partners. However, we know that Kosovo needs a long term solution to tackle the problem of its exploding stray care population. We are working on that at the moment, together with local stakeholders and partners such as Animal Rights Foundation, and will keep you posted if and when we can go back to Kosovo to help even more animals.
