On 13 January, a fire destroyed the pet shelter "Lakis" in Kupiškis district. It was not a separate "facility" or premises - it was the same house where the owner and her son lived, and at the same time it was an animal shelter where animals were cared for and treated every day.
Kaunas Animal Welfare Home - here homeless animals, who are looking for responsible and loving owners, receive safe shelter, veterinary care and assistance.
Penkta koja is an animal shelter established in 2008.
Our mission is to reduce the number of homeless animals in Lithuania through humane means such as sterilisation, responsible donation and public education. We aim to create a society where animal cruelty is reduced and pets are chosen and cared for responsibly.
Our activities are supported solely by private and legal donations - we do not receive any state or municipal funding. Every donation you make helps us save lives, heal, care for and give animals a better tomorrow.
Every dog that comes to our shelter has a story - often a painful one, full of betrayal, starvation and disease. They come to us wounded, emaciated and abandoned. But we believe that every life is worth fighting for.
Our shelter currently cares for around 400 dogs, each of whom needs not only warmth and a safe environment, but also daily medical care. Your donation will help us to cover veterinary costs: medicines, surgeries, vaccinations, marking, treatment for internal and external parasites, spaying/neutering. We will also provide a complete diet, from daily dry and wet food to special diets for seriously ill dogs: those struggling with oncological diseases, allergies or digestive disorders.
Every euro is an opportunity for one homeless animal to not only survive, but also to recover, regain trust in people and find a real home.
Contribute. Help. Save. 💛
