The History Of Our Project

In 2012, Dita and I (Sebastian) met on an internet chat platform. We quickly got into conversation because we had the same interests and focused on the topic of street dogs in Brazil and the poor animal welfare there.

At that time, Dita still had her house in the city and was already caring for about 38 dogs there. However, because of too much dog noise, she had to find a solution and find another place for the dogs. In discussions with the mayor at the time, an unconventional agreement was reached, and so the city made a small piece of land available to us on a hill in a rural area.

That happened in 2013. Since then we have been building shelters for the dogs and feeding and caring for them on site. The money for this comes from my own pocket and is generated through my work as an industrial mechanic in Germany.

​

In 2017 I came to the kennel for the first time to help where I could. However, that turned out to be more than difficult. The yard had hardly any structure, the construction and arrangement were haphazard, so that it was extremely difficult to organize and repair the yard. There were initially no doors there, just "holes" in the walls to get in and out. There was not a large fence around the entire farm and the animals often chased the neighbor's cows. There were no roofs in the outdoor area, so it was difficult to feed the dogs or to offer them a shady place in the outdoor area when it was very hot and raining.

​

In 2018 I went to the dog farm for the second time and stayed there for 9 months to build up at least a bit of structure, to cover the outdoor areas and work paths so that in bad weather they could be fed and worked reasonably reasonably, and the dogs could also be outside when the sun was strong could stop. But already this year we got bad news from the city. The mayoral election was due, and the incumbent mayor who made the piece of land possible for us was voted out. The new mayor is not sympathetic to us, and the ultimatum was that we have to leave the piece of land on which our dog farm is located by mid/end of 2024 at the latest.

​

At the end of 2019, Dita sold her house in the city since she lives 24/7 at the dog farm anyway. With the help of a donation from a friend and my savings, we were able to buy a 30,000 square meter piece of land on which we want to build the new dog run to save our dogs from the city's ultimatum.

​

Corona came in 2020, everything became more expensive and complicated, and the construction of the new dog farm on our own piece of land was completely slowed down. Since then we have been in great need and unfortunately have to ask for donations so that our 88 dogs and 13 cats have a chance to continue living. Otherwise we'll be back on the street with all the animals.

​

We had other plans, but when the Ukraine war started, we slipped even deeper into the emergency situation and therefore ask all people who have something for stranded animal souls to help us by either spreading our project out into the world, or maybe even set up a donation. Both would help us a lot!

​

We would like to thank our donors for their attention so far, we are proud to have found these few people and hope that things will improve and that we can inspire more people for our project.
