Animal ambulance Dicke Wilma”: Christian Ergenzinger helps animals in need!
In the heart of Lübeck, Christian Ergenzinger is causing a stir with his mobile animal ambulance “Dicke Wilma”. The animal health practitioner has been helping homeless people and those in need for nine months by providing their animals with free medical care. He has already treated over 90 animals. Contact with the Lübeck Homeless Help Center was mediated by a pastor from Kiel, who actively supports Ergenzinger's commitment to the animals of those in need. In a city where many have little, it is charity like this that is worth its weight in gold: “Dicke Wilma” not only provides medical help, but also offers drinks and fruit for the pet owners to give them a little warmth and attention.
Christian Ergenzinger has seen poverty firsthand in over 80 countries. His motivation to help others, especially in Germany, has its origins here. But it's not just the medical treatments for the animals that are important to him. He takes the time to give extensive advice and demonstrates a sensitive approach. The most common challenges affecting the animals are nail trimming, tartar and problems with eyes and ears. In more serious cases, he refers the animals to local veterinarians. “All animals deserve the best possible care,” he says, which shows that someone with heart and mind is at work here.
Challenges for homeless pet owners
The task of providing veterinary care to those in need is not without its challenges. Many homeless people face a high barrier to seeking help. Pets are often not allowed in emergency shelters, which means that many dog owners sleep outside to avoid abandoning their four-legged friends. When animals are sick or injured, their situation becomes particularly critical as there is often no money for veterinary visits or medication. This reality is also reflected in the experiences of Ergenzinger, who compassionately understands the plight and struggles that many of his clients face. Thanks to his mobile ambulance, many finally have the opportunity to help where there was previously a wall of desperation.
The partnership with the Dog emergency aid per canis further enriches Ergenzinger’s commitment. The organization works to ensure that healthy food and medical treatment for animals are not a luxury. Volunteering has already improved the living conditions of many people and their animals throughout Germany. It becomes clear that this is about much more than just medical help; it's about dignity and respectful coexistence.
