Demand Investigation into Horror Shelter - Hreša Bosnia

We have reliable reports and eyewitness accounts substantiated by photographs, that over 50 dogs are being kept in inhumane conditions in the Hreša Dog Shelter, on the outskirts of Sarajave. They are completely without adequate food or water or veterinary treatment. Numerous dogs are kept in tiny cages, one dog in a cage no larger than itself; dead dogs are left amongst living dogs. Furthermore, there are reports that any non-purebred dog caught by the shelter is killed, and that purebred dogs are stolen from owners and only released to the owner if a ransom is paid.

We understand that Slaviša Jovčić, manager of the shelter and the director of Glog, the company that built the shelter, was promised 130 000 KM from the municipalities for the shelter, but the full amount of the money was never paid by the municipality and therefore Slaviša Jovčić cannot ensure the care of the dogs.

Winter is here, and with heavy snowfall and temperatures hitting -30,without immediate help many of these dogs will die.
