Update: Urgent Help Needed for Dogs in Dubrovnik

There are some good news regarding the homeless dogs in Dubrovnik. :)

Lionsgate, the company that is making the movie "Robin Hood" has contacted Network for Animals and told them that they didn't know about the situation with the dogs. They have promised to donate 20,000 Kuna ($2,800) to help the dogs, who are currently huddled in open shelters in the freezing cold at the Zarcovica Animal Shelter, just outside the city.

Also, the previous Mayor who wanted the dogs to be killed has lost his job after it was found that he didn't build dog shelters and that the money that was supposed to be used for it was gone. Now, the leading candidates to replace him have promised that if they are elected they will immediately create a new shelter for the dogs.

'Mato Frankovic, who is leading in the opinion polls, says if he is elected in June, the dogs will have a new home by Christmas. Maro Krystic, a member of the national parliament with strong concern for the environment, made a similar promise.'
These are all good news, but until the new Mayor is elected, the dogs will not get any help from the government. They said it is not possible until the election in June. If you can donate any amount to Network for Animals, please do so. The dogs need food, veterinary care and shelter. There are more than 300 dogs currently at the shelter.
