From the street to the family
Under the care of a charitable foundation Nika Marusya, a dog, spent five years in a shelter after a car accident. At the Wet Nose Center, she underwent surgery to remove a tumor, and was recently adopted by a loving family, given love and a long-awaited home.
Nika has been helping homeless dogs and cats for over 14 years. The foundation rescues animals from the streets, sterilizes them, vaccinates them against dangerous diseases, and treats them for injuries and infections. Nika has two shelters with 800 beds and a veterinary clinic. There, pets are examined, treated, and prepared for life with families.
Since October 2020, the foundation has helped sterilize over 10,000 homeless animals, treat approximately 3,600, and find new homes for 2,400.
Volunteers from the Nika Foundation find new homes for dogs and cats at Woof festivals. The foundation has been holding these events since 2016. Volunteers bring hundreds of animals from various Moscow shelters. In addition to the exhibition, the festival features photo zones, workshops, quizzes, prize draws, and a charity market. A portion of the proceeds from purchases goes to shelters.
A chance for a long life
One of the foundation's touching stories Dogs Who Love— the fate of Ryzhulya, a mongrel dog who lived her entire life in a shelter. In the spring, she began feeling unwell, short of breath. Volunteers took her to a veterinary clinic for a checkup. An X-ray revealed a lung tumor. Ryzhulya underwent surgery and was prescribed further treatment. Thanks to the support of caring people, the foundation was able to cover the oncologist's appointments, chemotherapy, and follow-up X-rays for the dog. She has completed her chemotherapy course, and is now recovering at the shelter. Ryzhulya, wagging her tail, joyfully greets her guardians. The next goal is to help this furry companion find a home.
Fund Dogs Who Love Since 2017, it has been helping not only homeless dogs but also cats. The organization doesn't have its own shelter, but it regularly supports municipal and private shelters. The foundation helps purchase food, provides necessary veterinary care, and finds new homes for the animals.
Specialists and volunteers regularly visit shelters, walk their charges, and help socialize the animals so they adapt more quickly to life in families. The foundation also organizes educational projects, vibrant festivals, and kindness lessons for children to raise awareness of the problems of homeless animals and promote caring for them.
A new home for old friends
Ward of the fund Helping homeless mongrel animals A 10-year-old dog named Boriska spent 2.5 years at the shelter, arriving there at a respectable age. He recently found a home, friends, and loving owners—Elena and Andrey. Boriska quickly adjusted to his new family and brings them positive emotions every day.
The chances of finding a family for dogs and cats that end up in a shelter at an older age are decreasing every year. Helping homeless mongrel animals specializes in supporting senior four-legged friends, helping them find caring families.
The organization has been in existence for over 10 years and currently provides care to over 700 animals. About 600 of them are over seven or eight years old—an advanced age for a four-legged animal. They require specialized care, food, and veterinary care while volunteers search for new homes. If these animals are adopted by people over 55, volunteers provide additional support, such as delivering dry food to their homes or covering veterinary expenses.
