The delegation was greeted by Przemysław Grządziel, head of the Homeless Animal Shelter in Orzechowce, who stated that nowadays the animals mostly need wet food and cat litter.
The campaign began in December last year and will last until March 15, 2018. It is conducted at the campus of the Bronisław Markiewicz State Higher School of Technology and Economics in Jarosław and at the territory of some stores, we are grateful to their representatives for the help.
The purpose of the initiative is to provide aid in kind for the animals in the shelter. For marked cartons we constantly put dry and wet food stuffs for dogs and cats, as well as toys, leashes, collars, braces, bowls and cat litter, blankets and towels.
The organizers of the campaign are the second year students of the Management Faculty and members of the Student Scientific Club "FOCUS" operating at the Institute of Economics and Management, as well as the representatives of the International Cooperation Department of PWSTE and foreign students, staying at our School realizing the Erasmus + program.
The fulfillment of the tasks was divided into two stages, the first one included a visit to the shelter. It should be noted that the result turned out to be so impressive that it encourages further actions for the needy. The benefactors - the inhabitants of Jarosław and the suburbs, as well as the academic staff and students of our School simply proved that they care for homeless animals. The collection of the above things is still going on and carried out at the PWSTE campus in Jarosław and at several stores. We would like to thank the donators and the individuals who fill the baskets with animal products during purchase.
Before the action, the information posters about the project were displayed. At the same time, the initiative via the website and social profiles was promoted.
Currently, there are about 200 animals in the Homeless Animal Shelter in Orzechowce. They are mostly victims of accidents, exhaustion caused by lonely wandering around the town or negligence caused by the previous owners. As a team of a shelter, we dream about having more and more empathy, people’s sensitiveness to animals suffering and willing to help our smaller pets.
There are various ways to support animal shelters - from provision a temporary place of residence, by giving financial and material help to volunteering - spending your own free time while taking dogs for walks. We strongly encourage you for it.
We ask for help on behalf of dogs and cats. If you can provide a shelter animal with a place of residence - do not hesitate to do it. If you, on the other hand, would like to help, but you can not physically adapt your pet, you can become its "virtual guardian". Adopting a dog or a cat virtually, you support financially its maintenance. Details are available at: http://www.schroniskoorzechowce.pl
The organizers express their gratitude for the commitment and support of the project as well as for help for our little friends to survive in winter.
