VUCJAK SHELTER PROJECT

Our shelter, located in central Serbia, is currently home to +1600 dogs and cats. We are massively facing challenges and are overwhelmed in both numbers and medical cases, as well as inadequate infrastructure to meet basic needs.

The shelter is not struggling due to intentional neglect; rather, it is severely underfunded and lacks resources. Our founder Dejan and his small team of five interacting with the animals provide as much genuine love & care.

Our dedicated team, and, above all, our animals are in dire need of assistance from both us and you. Only by working together we can help prevent the unintended suffering of both the animals and those devoted individuals who tirelessly care for them.

Our Founder Dejan and our +1600 dogs need your support

BREAKING THE CHAINS
& VUCJAK SHELTER

This project is enormous and almost impossible, but by working together, we can bring about significant change and enhance the lives of thousands of animals. Breaking The Chains does not intend to take control of the shelter; rather, our objective is to renovate and establish effective systems to enable the shelter to operate more efficiently and effectively.

For nearly a year, Breaking The Chains has been closely monitoring and engaging with the shelter, holding onto hope that a major international organisation would intervene to rescue the shelter from its current crisis. Unfortunately, no such assistance has materialised, leaving our founder Tom to take matters into his own hands and attempt to make a positive impact for everyone involved.

Medical needs are exceptionally high

It is crucial to recognize that the medical needs within the shelter are exceptionally high. While we take the lead in planning, coordinating, and managing the reconstruction of infrastructure, we’ll collaborate with Dr. Scott Miller, who will oversee medical aspects of the project.
