00:02 We function normally during Christmas,
00:05 practically like every day,
00:07 because the care for animals is related to the fact that there are no free days.
00:13 So practically for us it's a day like any other.
00:16 We don't approach with a proverbial cover.
00:18 It's calmer with us then,
00:20 because volunteers spend more time with their parents,
00:24 so it's quiet and calm here,
00:27 because we just stay with them alone
00:30 and there's no such confusion,
00:32 so we just spend time with them.
00:35 Now we have 43 dogs,
00:38 today another three are coming from the animal shelter,
00:41 taken to work.
00:44 There are 8 cats here,
00:47 a few hedgehogs, 16 sheep
00:51 and a cow, Lucina.
00:53 We have a lot of cases recently,
00:56 where after the death of the owner, the family doesn't take care of the animals.
01:01 These animals are either taken to the wasteland,
01:04 tied to chains,
01:06 or left at home,
01:08 because the family will take care of the property,
01:11 but not necessarily the dogs.
01:13 And then we intervene and protect these animals.
01:17 The needs are standard.
01:19 Food is always useful,
01:21 in our case and I think in the case of shelters,
01:25 all kinds of blankets, blankets, bedding,
01:28 of course, without feathers,
01:30 because the feather is torn and runs after the whole possession.
01:34 But also things that are used
01:37 to make the dogs behave,
01:42 so toys, treats,
01:44 all the things they can do.
01:48 To become a full-time volunteer,
01:51 you have to be 16 years old,
01:54 younger people also come,
01:57 but then they have to be under the care of their parents.
02:00 Because, of course, there is work with animals here,
02:03 we don't close these animals, we don't divide them,
02:06 so you enter the herd of dogs mainly.
02:09 It's risky, that's one thing.
02:14 Besides, it's enough to come to us for a conversation,
02:18 to say what functions you would like to fulfill with us,
02:21 what you would like to do,
02:23 and we sign a volunteer contract.
02:25 We accept different people with different predispositions.
02:28 Certainly, people who are very empathetic and sensitive
02:33 have a much harder fate here,
02:35 because you have to get used to some things.
02:38 Here, animals are most often taken away by intervention.
02:41 They are in a very difficult state,
02:44 most often mental and physical,
02:46 and for some people it's hard to bear
02:49 the suffering of animals.
02:51 However, on the other hand,
02:53 when you see how these animals change,
02:55 how their health is being repaired,
02:57 and how they regain their faith in humans,
02:59 it's very constructive.
03:01 If someone actually goes through
03:04 at least one or two changes of these dogs,
03:06 he will see a really great difference.
03:09 you
