View this email in your browser Will you help us keep rescued animals healing and alive? Dear friends, For years, Paws of Smederevo in Serbia has been a place where the unwanted are not turned away. Dogs left on roadsides, injured, paralyzed, or forgotten are given shelter, food, and dignity by a small team that refuses to give up on them, no matter how hard it gets. Kindly donate today! Animals First Aid has stood beside Paws of Smederevo through some of their hardest moments, and because of your support, real care has reached real animals. Recently, $769 was sent to the shelter, and every dollar went directly where it was needed most: safe housing for the dogs, daily food, urgent veterinary care, and another crucial payment toward Nada’s wheelchair, which gives her the chance to move, heal, and live with joy again  .

Despite paralysis, pain, and ongoing therapy, her spirit remains unbroken. She continues physical rehabilitation several times a week, supported by electro, magnetic, ultrasound, and laser therapies. These treatments are not optional. They are what stand between progress and regression. Without them, her future mobility and independence are at risk. Fuel costs, therapy fees, and veterinary visits are stretching the shelter to its limits, and donations have slowed just when consistency matters most. Then there is Vila. After consultations with multiple specialists across Serbia and even Vienna, the decision was made not to risk devastating surgeries that could take away her ability to walk and play. Kindly donate today!

Beyond these individual cases are dozens of dogs who need food every single day and shelter that keeps them warm, dry, and safe. Housing costs alone consume a large portion of the monthly budget, yet without it, these dogs would have nowhere to go. There is no large institution behind this work, only dedication, experience, and a deep sense of responsibility toward animals who have already suffered too much. Kindly donate today!

Your support helps cover food that keeps bowls full, shelter that protects from harsh weather, veterinary care that prevents suffering, and ongoing rehabilitation that gives dogs like Nada a future filled with movement and hope. Kindly donate today! Credit: Šape Smedereva Animals First Aid is proud to partner with Paws of Smederevo, and we remain committed to transparency and impact. When you give, you are not donating to an idea. You are keeping real dogs alive, comfortable, and cared for today, not someday. Please help us continue this lifesaving work. Kindly donate today! We cannot do this without you. Together, we can make sure that the dogs who survived abandonment do not lose their chance at a life worth living.
