Our story The story of ''Dobra Nada'' started over 20 years ago
when 2 people, Laslo and Snezana, physical therapists and
colleagues, started helping stray cats and dogs in Novi Sad
(Serbia). As time passed by, the number of animals in their care
went up and so they started a private shelter. The two of them
invested a lot of time, love, dedication and their own finances
into animal rescue. In over 20 years they faced many hardships
and difficult decisions ...because running a non-profit
organisation on your own, and especially so in Serbia, stands
low chances of surviving. Despite all of this, quitting their
rescue work was never an option for them, and neither was
turning their backs on an animal in need.
Mr. Laslo Boka was a renowned shiatsu therapist, chiropractor,
and Reiki master. He was very dedicated to his work, and as much
as he was passionate about helping people, he was equally
passionate about helping animals too. The cats and dogs he took
care of were like a second family to him.
Sadly, Laslo passed away in August 2020 , and now his friend
Snezana is left alone with nearly 90 animals. There are
currently 66 dogs and 18 cats at the shelter.
That is too big of a workload and an overwhelming number of
animals for just one person.
For this reason Snezana, with the help of few friends , is now
actively working on rehoming dogs and cats from the shelter.
Rehoming in itself is a process that will likely take a while
...That is why help is needed to keep the shelter operating.
What is needed the most is help in animal food and money for
covering other expenses (transport and vet expenses above all).
Monthly food needs are 750 kilos of dry dog food , 270 cans of
cat food and 60 kilos of dry cat food. This is why we ask all
people who like animals to please help Snezana and the paws she
takes care of.
Please help Snezana to continue Laslo's work and to keep the
memory of Laslo's noble mission alive , and help paws to stay
safe and fed until they find their safe and loving forever homes
they so much deserve.
