Open Day at the Shelter: Help Stray Animals
Charitable organizations "Happy Paw" and "Kovcheg-Odessa" invite everyone to an open day on May 4th. The goal of the event is to encourage animal adoption so that as many stray cats and dogs as possible can meet their new families.
The "Kovcheg-Odessa" shelter currently cares for over 800 cats and dogs. Organizers note that each new animal adds significant pressure on the staff and the shelter’s permanent residents due to the risk of illness and food shortages.
"Open Day is a wonderful opportunity for the whole family to spend time together, especially for those who have dreamed of adopting an animal from the shelter but don’t know how to start. Supporting stray animals can be done not only financially but also through your time, effort, and most importantly, attention," reads the announcement.
During the event, there will be tours of the shelter, guidelines for behavior within the shelter, stories about local cats and dogs, and "cat-dog therapy." Additionally, attendees will have the chance to assist the shelter by cleaning, feeding, walking dogs, and playing with cats.
The Open Day will take place on May 4th at 12:00 at: 1st Sorting St., 22.
