Seventy-four-year-old Gorica braces herself with a stick as more than one hundred dogs circle her legs to reach the pail of dog food she is carrying. The air is cold this morning at Gorica’s home-based shelter in the small Serbian village of Drazevac. Last winter, Gorica broke her leg on the ice and she’s deeply afraid of what this winter will bring if she must face another year all alone. Harmony Fund would like to sponsor a full-time worker to come and help care for the dogs (all spayed/neutered) and we’re asking for donations to help.

“My greatest fear in the winter is not being able to care for them the way they deserve,” Gorica said last week. “I am alone. It gets hard to walk around the shelter, to clean and feed them. The concrete gets frozen and slippery. I fell many times and fear what will happen to my dogs if I get injured. Who will help me to take care of them? It is already very difficult for me to lift buckets, to carry garbage and anything heavy. In the winter it all gets ten times harder. I desperately need a helping hand. Having to spend most of the day with them outside, even some of the nights during the storm (the dogs get anxious and scared and they need me), makes my bones get really cold and I get sick. I can’t take sick days. I have nobody else to help and just have to keep on. I am getting very old. I am very worried about getting through this winter.”

In order to keep Gorica and the animals safe, Harmony Fund is seeking monthly supporters to rally around Gorica. It will cost about $1000 a month for a worker to be at the shelter daily to take over the hard, daily chores in caring for the 25 cats and 137 dogs here. It’s a certainty that more residents will abandon puppies, kittens and injured animals at the shelter gate in the months ahead, so we’ll need to be ready for them as well. We will pay the shelter worker on the 1st day of each month, so we’re hoping some of you might even be able to sign up to give an automatic monthly donation so that we have funds to pay this expense. Harmony Fund is a USA-based non profit organization dedicated to helping underdog rescuers across the planet.

“It is my greatest wish, to be able to sit with the dogs and cats here and give them the attention and love they need,” Gorica concluded. “I want people to know that I will do everything in my power, to my last breath, everything I can, to help as many animals as possible.”

Animal Rescue Chase

The Great Animal Rescue Chase celebrates the art of animal rescue with a worldwide race to rescue one million. It’s a free event, open to all, and is perhaps the only global animal rescue event aimed at helping any animal in distress, anywhere in the world. Our ambition is to create a culture of enthusiasm and pride in animal activism. We believe in teaching, by example, that there is a hero in each of us just waiting to be unleashed. Empowered animal lovers can not only save lives, but build the momentum for powerful animal welfare reform.
