Help a German Boxer stranded in Montenegro

In late August 2012 a German citizen, Mr. Karlheinz Rolf, died in an accident on Durmitor (Montenegro), while he was photographing the nature. As he was in tourist visits to the Montenegro, he left behind his personal belongings and his dog, a female German boxer. The dog is, at the moment, temporally taken under care of a local family, while awaiting its fate.

Society for the Protection of Animals - Podgorica has, on its own initiative, inquired about the fate of the dog as well as the further steps needed to provide it with the adequate care. According to information provided by the Consular officer in German Embassy in Podgorica, brother of the late Mr. Rolf said that he did not want to take the dog and gave the permission to humanly put it to death in Montenegro. Please note that prior to our call, and even after, nothing was done about the fate of this animal. During our further inquiries we learned that not a single organization was contacted (nor in Germany, nor in Montenegro - including us), that could eventually provide shelter or care for the dog, and that it will probably be given to a local dog trainer.. We would like to point out a very unprofessional operation, and completely unacceptable attitude for this animal welfare. To add that this attitude and negligence in the care of the dog is not only totally unacceptable from the standpoint of accountability, but it is also extremely inhumane and stressful for the animal.

By signing this petition you are helping us win a fight for the better future she deserves, as animals should not be treated like luggage and their fate should be decided with care and patience! Please take a minute and sign this petition, join your voice to the shout up for animal rights!
