Animal Welfare at Christmas - Win a Shelter Sponsorship

Animal shelters often face significant needs despite the dedication of many individuals. To support these efforts, two one-year sponsorships for animals with special needs are being raffled.

These sponsorships provide crucial support for the ongoing care of animals in shelters, particularly those that are difficult to rehome. A sponsorship ensures continued funding for food, care, and medical treatment, offering hope and stability to these animals.

How to Participate

The Shelters

Ludwigsburg Animal Shelter: This shelter has been supported through sponsorship initiatives for some time, with the current campaign marking its second year. The support from outside the shelter is vital for their operations.

Stuttgart Animal Shelter: Participating for the first time, this shelter highlights the challenges of caring for animals with difficult pasts. Many of these animals, referred to as “foster children,” require long-term care due to their complex needs and cannot be visited.

Animals Needing Sponsorship:

Animals requiring sponsorship are those considered long-term residents.

**Ludwigsburg Animal Shelter:

• Zalando: A rabbit suffering from chronic snuffles.
• Gucci: A rabbit abandoned in a supermarket parking lot.
• Leyla: A 10-year-old cat with diabetes, surrendered due to a move.
• James: A mixed-breed dog that easily becomes stressed by other dogs or confinement.

**Stuttgart Animal Shelter:

• Cora: A shy dog with hip problems and pancreatitis.
• Attila: A cat found as a stray.
• Hahnrich: A rooster, along with other roosters, who are consistently overlooked for adoption.

Additional Support Options

Both the Ludwigsburg and Stuttgart animal shelters welcome donations and ongoing sponsorships. Information on how to donate can be found on their respective websites or through provided bank details.

Important Reminder

Animals should not be given as surprise gifts, especially during Christmas. They require a lifelong commitment to a loving home, care, and assistance.
