Merry Christmas at the animal shelter: Lucky is looking for a new home!

The Neustrelitz animal shelter ushered in the Christmas magic a little earlier this year. A generous donation brings joy and hope to dogs like Lucky, an American Staffordshire Terrier who has been living at the shelter for a year. Good Lucky, who was rescued from a Messi raft on Lake Zierker, is still looking for a loving home where he can finally rest. Despite his difficult past, which left him with physical and mental scars, he proves to be a trusting and loyal companion.

Lucky's story is moving. He was rescued by the police along with another dog; Unfortunately, a third dog did not survive the cruel situation from which the rescuers rescued him. The animal shelter employees have invested a lot of time and effort to make Lucky trustworthy and rehomable again. Shared walks and play sessions have strengthened the bond between Lucky and his carers, and they hope to find the right home for him soon. Anyone interested can get to know Lucky at the animal shelter by calling 03981-400850 so that we can soon find him a new, loving home.

A place for more dogs

The Neustrelitz animal shelter offers not only Lucky, but many other animals the chance for a new, happy life. The doors are open Monday to Saturday on request and a dedicated team is available to provide advice to visitors. “We have a good knack for finding the right pet for people,” say the employees. It is important that all animals receive medical care and care before they are put up for adoption. A nominal fee is charged to cover the cost of care - a small price to pay for a new, loyal family member.

The demand for animal shelter animals remains high. In Germany, numerous animals are waiting for a home, although most animal shelters are often overcrowded. Urgent reasons for this are unwanted pets, a lack of information about species-appropriate husbandry and the uncontrolled proliferation of pets. Every year, animal shelters in this country care for around 400,000 animals, around a quarter of which stay in the home permanently. The TERRA MATER animal protection network has set itself the task of alleviating this problem and carries out various measures to help animals in need.

Animal protection in Germany

There are around 32 million pets in Germany, including 8.6 million dogs and 13.4 million cats. Many free-roaming, homeless cats suffer from hunger and disease - a problem compounded by inadequate neutering programs and a lack of awareness. The animal protection organization TERRA MATER informs and sensitizes the population about the importance of neutering and registering pets in order to reduce the number of homeless animals.

It is therefore essential to visit animal shelters and actively promote the adoption of animals. Every animal that finds a new home allows shelter staff to make space and help more animals. Let's set an example together by giving animals like Lucky a chance for a better life.
