“Our beloved Asa ❤ You will be forever in our hearts” ❤

Asa was rescued by us in November 2020 from a terrible shelter, where she was locked up together with other 130 dogs for several years under very bad conditions. She got no exercise there, no medical care at all and hardly anything to eat.

When she came to us at the estimated age of 7 years, she was cared for and looked after by us and was then ready for a new loving home. In January 2022, dear Angelika Kautz from Neu Zache came forward and took our Asa into her beautiful cozy home in February 2022 and loved her more than anything and vice versa.

She was cared for and nurtured by Angelika and treated by her vet as best she could. But the happiness in her beautiful home was not of long duration and Asa had to say goodbye to her wonderful and loving home and her beloved mistress forever after only 10 months.

“We support a new animal shelter project in Trebinje/Bosnia”

We are happy to be able to help other animal welfare organizations with the knowledge and experience we have gained in the past years. The organization Korina (www.korina.me) from Montenegro, which is supported by the English organization Network for Animals (www.networkforanimals.org), visited us in our shelter and presented their plans with the construction project of an animal shelter in Trebinje (Bosnian city on the border with Croatia and Montenegro). 

Their plan is to create a temporary home suitable for the street dogs, and to care for and provide medical attention to the dogs until they can be placed in good hands. The dear animal welfare activists have discovered “like us in 2020” a terrible shelter where the animals have to stay in disastrous conditions. 

The Korina organization will start building a new shelter as soon as possible. Until the completion of the shelter, they will take care of the neglected dogs with food donations and hopefully they will be able to move very soon. 

We are proud to have been chosen and contacted as a good role model and since then we have been involved in the implementation of the new shelter project in Trebinje. 

We will do everything we can to make this new project a success.

“A big thank you from the entire A.R.B. team goes this time to Moni and Christian Ramsauer” ❤

Das liebe Ehepaar Moni und Christian Ramsauer hat im Dezember 2021 gleich zwei Hunde von uns adoptiert. Unseren lieben Martin, geb. 06.2019, der auf einem Auge erblindet ist und unsere Marcia, geb. 06/2021, die sehr schüchtern, ängstlich und misstrauisch gegenüber Menschen war. 

Die erste Entscheidung fiel bewusst auf Martin, da er zum einen ein sehr liebenswerter Hund ist und zum anderen mit nur einem funktionstüchtigen Auge geringere Chancen auf eine Adoption hatte als unsere gesunden Hunde. Damit Martin nicht alleine sein musste, haben sich Moni und Christian auch für Marcia entschieden. Aufgrund ihrer sehr ängstlichen Art hatte sie bis dato keine Interessenten.

Im neuen Zuhause angekommen haben Martin und Marcia alle Zeit der Welt bekommen, um sich in Ruhe einzuleben. Mit viel Verständnis und Geduld haben Moni und Christian es geschafft, das Vertrauen der beiden zu 100% zu gewinnen und wenn man die Hunde heute sieht, ist es so, als wären sie nie woanders gewesen und hätten nie etwas Schlimmes in ihrer Vergangenheit erlebt.

Auf dem tollen Grundstück und in der sehr ländlichen Umgebung fühlen sich die zwei pudelwohl und bekommen alles, was das Hundeherz begehrt. 

“A very special thank you to Laura Weixel with Prinz” ❤

Our dog Prinz came to us with a severe injury to his left hind leg. His leg was so badly injured that our doctors only saw the possibility of amputation. We didn’t know what had happened to him, it could be that he had either gotten caught in a bear trap in the woods or his leg had been otherwise crushed.

After the operation, the healing process took some time, and Prinz had to get used to the new situation, which was of course difficult for him at first. But after everything was over, his zest for life came back and he could walk again without any problems. 

The time had come to find him a loving home where he could get the care he needed and start a new life. 

On 12.02.2022 it was then so far and Prinz could finally move in with Laura. ❤
From the beginning the two were one heart and one soul and that’s how it has to be. Our Prinz feels very happy, experiences with Laura many adventures, goes with her on trips and they have a lot of fun together.

“04. April – International Day of Stray Animals” ❣️

Today is the International Day of Stray Animals, the day when we should think about the daily suffering of dogs. We still give everything in our power to help as many strays as possible to end their suffering.

We would like to encourage everyone who cares about the suffering of animals to support us in our project, so that we can continue to work as we do now or even do more.

Many thanks to all who support us! 

“A big thank you to Romy Vietzke!”

It is now time to thank Romy for her active support. Romy always collects great things for our dog shelter, which we always urgently need, like towels, leashes, safety harnesses, blankets, snacks and much more. In addition, she and her husband have adopted two dogs from us; a male named Wan and a female named Lara.

Lara was a very shy and fearful dog and Romy together with her husband managed to give both dogs a great dog life with a lot of love and patience.

In addition, Romy helps us to find new homes for the dogs who unfortunately have to move out of their new homes for various reasons. And for all her help our whole team A.R.B. Bosnia would like to thank her very much.

“A big thank you to our dog trainer Rainer Babina!”

Rainer Babina adopted two of our dogs and gave them a wonderful home. As an experienced dog trainer Rainer gives in his  Hundetreff Visbek e.V. (hundetreff-visbek.de) training lessons for puppies, young dogs and adult dogs and he is very successful with it. Since a few months we have the luck that Rainer supports us with his knowledge and many years of experience with words and deeds.

Especially in the beginning, when our dogs have been placed in Germany and they have moved into their new home, many questions about dogs come from the new owners. With these many different questions Rainer is at our disposal and gives the adopters very helpful valuable tips and tricks for a harmonious human-dog relationship. Our team is very happy to have Rainer Babina as a great support to our team and for this we would like to thank again very much.

We took these puppies from the street so that they
would not also be run over by cars, as happened to one from this group. Citizens have called us and asked for help.

“We found them”

Our shelter is providing a home for abandoned and street dogs since two years. The goal of our work is to provide a temporary home for a dogs, until the final adoption of families who want to have a new family member and give them the love and attention they deserve.

A dog is a man’s best friend who will always be grateful and loyal to you. So far we have found a home for about 150 dogs, mostly in Germany and that makes us proud.

There are various ways we reach out to dogs and provide them with the care they need. The most upsetting and the saddest is the finding of dogs and especially puppies in abandoned and destroyed buildings or left in front of our entrance in cardboard boxes.

Puppies that are separated from their mother prematurely are often left to fend for themselves and need special attention.

“Finally safe!”

In the group of dogs we rescued from the Local Shelter, our veterinarians found that several females were pregnant. After a detailed medical examination, we separated them into special boxes and provide special care.

Two females have already become mothers and our shelter is richer by ten little sweets. After raising the puppies the mothers will be neutered and we are sure that a better, happier life begins for them than the one they could have had if they had stayed in the Local Shelter.

Our team works these days to examine dogs and diagnose various diseases such as tumors, various types of infections, skin diseases, and infectious diseases that have arisen as a result of many years in the cold, wet and dirty.

We find out that many dogs are suffering from malnutrition, and that made us especially sad.
