A wide variety of book titles at symbolic prices are offered by Animal Friends VT in an online bazaar to raise funds for homeless animals. The books are both brand new and donated by volunteers and can be ordered on the association’s Facebook page. Since the books are sold out extremely quickly, the organizers appeal to anyone who wishes to donate a book that has already been read to the cause.
Funds raised will be used to cover the cost of treatment for injured dogs and cats receiving medical care at local veterinary clinics. The association “Friends of Animals VT” reminds that the annual campaign “Yellow pennies” continues, through which BGN 1,000 has been collected since the beginning of the year for the treatment of homeless animals

Anyone who wishes can visit the site, located only 10 minutes from the old capital city – between the villages of Shemshevo and Bukovets. Detailed information and photos of thе animals are constantly published on the Facebook page “Adopt from Veliko Tarnovo” – https://www.facebook.com/OsinoviOtVelikoTarnovo.
A total of 130 dogs were accommodated in the shelter from January to the end of July 2022. 354 passed away – all were dewormed. There were 247 vaccinated quadrupeds for the period, 166 were chipped and 143 marked. There are 147 neutered dogs, 63 of them brought by citizens.

The Christmas Market in Veliko Tarnovo officially opens on 1st December; it will work from 10 am till 8 pm and will feature 25 chalets offering various goods. One of them will be called the Charity Chalet of Friends of Animals VT and will be raising funds for a noble cause – the wellbeing of stray and mistreated animals. The good-hearted people behind the organization are setting up their chalet at the Christmas Market for a second year in a row. There you can donate money for the stray animals of Veliko Tarnovo. The raised funds will cover the medical costs for neutering, treatment and medication of homeless animals. You can also donate blankets, bedding, toys and food for the dogs in the Municipality Animal Shelter. Alternatively you can buy cat/dog food or anything you deem necessary from any of the veterinary clinics or zoo shops in VT and just let the people from the chalet know so that they can go and collected it instead of you carrying it around.
For each donation you will receive a small gift of gratitude. The gifts include calendars with pictures of the dogs from the shelter, fridge magnets with cats, souvenirs and Christmas baubles. The Charity Chalet is the first on the left-hand side if you are coming from the direction of the ferry wheel.
