ABOUT Us
The shelter "Friends of Sarajevo Strays" is run under the Association for the Protection of Animals "Lajka". Located near Gladno Polje, our shelter is full of various street dogs that members of Lajka take care of. The working conditions are not ideal and finances primarily come from the pockets of Lajka's founders and citizens who want to donate.
The shelter situation is pretty bad, but it's the best we can do at the moment. About 60 dogs are under our care, of which a part, usually because they are dogs that need special attention, are in boarding houses and paid and volunteer, fosters.
Caring for them is reduced to daily cleaning, feeding, running, while always taking care of the health of the dogs. The employee who works in the asylum and who is a big dog lover is in charge of these activities and duties on a daily basis, so our life is easier from that point of view.
What we try to provide them is a safe environment and, for these conditions, the most adequate care until the moment they find their forever home.

what they say about us
"Everyone can adopt their best friend. I have been following Friends of Sarajevo Strays for a long time. I am aware of how much they try to make the dogs' lives better. I hope that as many people as possible will recognize this and help them."
Neira jevicki
"At the invitation of a friend, I went with my daughters to the Friends of Sarajevo Strays dog shelter. I didn't know what would await us, except for the people who run it, who have a huge heart and empathy to help the innocent, uncared for creatures. We were greeted with paws and cheerful tails full of love and attention. The conditions they live in are not at all enviable, but these people work and do their best to make them well, so they are often in trouble to cover all the costs of the shelter, and most often it is dog food. From the heart I invite all people who have at least a little empathy to help them as much as they can, and they will be very grateful!

"A friend introduced me to the people who take care of the dogs at the Friends of Sarajevo Strays Asylum. At first I wasn't ready to go because I don't have the heart to watch an animal suffer. However, I was surprised at how happy, fed and loved these dogs are. The conditions they live in are not ideal, but Dajna, Vedran and the other volunteers at the shelter sacrifice their money and free time so that the dogs don't even feel it. Of course, they can't do it without our help. So, what are we waiting for? It's our duty to do something ."
