🆘❗CALL FOR HELP ❗

This is how every day starts for us! They are hungry and call for me as soon as they hear me approach. I have this heaviness in my heart when I see and hear them. These innocent living beings are my responsibility and I have to secure enough funding to feed them. I know I ask for help often, but I have to - I mostly receive donations from a few regulars who I appreciate so much, but it is simply not enough...

We're almost at the end of the month and I have to pay rent for the shelter.

Over the last few months people have left 15 puppies, thrown outside the shelter. I am unable to care for this many dogs on my own, it's simply not possible. They need houses, vaccines etc.. On top of all this, I have 5 dogs that must be neutered, dogs that need medicine, worming tablets... My debt to local vets keeps growing as their illnesses cannot wait, and I have to put their health first.

❗ bottom line is, friends - I need help. I cannot go on like this. ,❗

Over 40 dogs expect food, shelter and most of all, love and care. I am stretched so thin and I cannot fail them. I am all they have right now.

So, any help is welcome. You can:

-donate food
-sponsor neutering for a dog
-donate houses,
-share this call for help with your friends !

📣 THANK YOU for a fantastic year!! 🐾

We always try to start the New Year with happiness and gratefulness with hope it will be more successful and better than last.
I look back at what made me happy and what made me sad, and realize it's all part of the circle of life! ✨
For me this past year is among one of the best years ever.
Blue brothers💙💙...Finally the day come for them to come to USA.Now they have mom and dad who love them endlessly.
Ginger has the best foster mom ever.
I was honored to meet some of my resqued dogs Bianca, Zara,Kara Cony,Lokey, Altan Lisa, Meko,Ginger Zorya,Meeka,Olivia🧡🖤❤🤎💜💙💚I meet Christine Johnson, Reyna's mom we spent wonderful time together.
Maybe next year I will meet the others dogs 🤗
All this would have been impossible without the help of One Starfish Conection organization, Marti Jim,Tatyana Igor,and all members and supporters.

Thanks to all of you who were with me in the most difficult times, when I was struggling how to provide food and how to pay for the vet bills.

New and old friends, you give me strength to keep going!
The road will be difficult ahead, but I KNOW that WITH YOU WE CAN RACE AHEAD, together! ✨

For our best friends, for whom we're the only chance for a better tomorrow, I am looking forward to a Happy New Year! 🎄✨

All the best my friends!!!

Dear friends,
These are the posts I like to do the least - asking for donations for my 4 legged friends in the shalter and for the abounded street dogs ,who are waiting me every day on the road😔 🙏

We are finishing our last bags of food - we have enough until the end of the week.
I am once again growing worried..

Could you help us through with a small donation?

Thank you for all your unselfish support ❤️

Love,
Viki Dimitrova

Hi my dear friends,
We are ROSY & RITA ( the one with a darker face and whiter body), the cutest and most affectionate sisters.

My sister Rosy has lower self confidence than me but she feels fully safe when close to me.
If I lie down she lies too, everything I do she copies me. I would be happiest if my sister stays with me for our life time but I understand if that is impossible. I just want her to be happy, wherever she will be. ❤

We are very calm, we bark only with a reason.
We are not aggressive at all, we especially love children.
The one thing you must know, we are not capable to walk on lead. We promise we are gonna learn it quickly.
We are looking for loving families who will love and treat us as members of the family.

❤️ Lina's story ❤️
Last week Lina was operated, by the only vet who accepted to do the operation, as the others said it was too risky..

She is doing well, in some pain still for the next two weeks and receiving treatment to alleviate the pain and help with girl! 💖

Thank you all for your support! Her operation was 300EUR and we still owe 100EUR to the vet to cover the expenses. Every euro helps and we're so grateful for all of you who contributed already and who encouraged us to help Lina ✨💗💞🐕

Lina will be able to live a full and active life after this! ☀️
She will also be looking for her forever home, so please keep us and her in mind 🍀

If you feel like you'd like to contribute to the costs for her operation, please donate any amount via PayPal to: [email protected]

☀️ Lina's story 🍀

I found Lina rummaging through garbage bags on the side of the road, after I got a call that her and another puppy were seen in the area close to the shelter.
When I found her, I immediately noticed that she was limping and that her back left leg was not in use. 💔

I took her to the vet and we did an X-ray that showed that she has been hit approximately 10 days ago, and the leg started to heal but in the wrong way.
It is ❗crucial ❗that she gets operated ASAP because as she grows the leg might become useless and she might start dragging it.

The operation that has to be done is complicated and will be long, but I believe that Lina deserves the chance to save her leg and have a long and beautiful childhood ✨❤️, to run free and play without pain.

🙌This is why I need your help to make sure that Lina gets to discover the world pain-free and hopefully after healing, find her forever home too!
🐕Lina is 2.5 months old, and needs all the support she can get to grow strong ❤️

This is MISSY- found dumped in a landfill waiting to die...

Missy is Leishmaniasis positive ➕ but she received treatment 1 year ago so the infection is under control. ✅
She needs to take Allopurinol every day for the rest of her life and the illness will not cause her any symptoms, nor will it affect her quality of life! ❤️

Despite the Leish, Missy is in an excellent health condition, she eats with passion, insists on cuddles all the time, ❤ and ABSOLUTELY LOVES going for walks ✨
She is super smart and friendly, 4 years old, neutered.

😍Here is Carmen - another one of our happy stories 😍
Carmen has now safely arrived in the UK and will enjoy a long and happy life with her fur sibling and her pawrents 🥳 - All thanks to Viki!

It hasn't been easy to find homes for doggies like Carmen - she is a shepherd mix and as she will grow big, these breeds need a lot of space and engagement to keep busy and be happy. 😓 This means that not many people consider adopting a shepherd mix AND those that do, still need to understand what's at stake and the responsibility that comes with it. 🦸‍♀️

We were SO LUCKY to have found Carmen's new parents - who already have a shepherd mix dog who will be her sibling 😍 and who are committed to understanding this breed and making the best life possible for them. 🍀

Without people like Viki, Carmen would have been a stray dog, roaming the streets of Skopje, malnourished and weak - at risk of dying - being hit by a car, or worse - taken to be used as a breeding dog for profit. 💔

Viki didn't allow this to happen ! Please come together for Viki and help us continue to save lives 🌼

⚡️CALL TO ACTION ⚡️
In June, we celebrate Viki - this is her birthday month, and having decided to create Viki Saves Dogs on her birthday 5 years ago - to help her in her rescue efforts, we can think of no better way to celebrate her work, than by honoring her and making a change together! 🧡

Our goal for this birthday celebration - is to collect enough money for Viki to pay off the backlog of vet bills and to have a 3 months worth of food for the dogs at the shelter. 🥳
We are confident we can achieve this goal together!

Some proud moments of our work until now:
🍀Forever homes found for more than 60 dogs!
🍀Rescued & temporarily fostered over 100 dogs
🍀Neutered over 150 animals cats and dogs ! 🐱🐶
🍀Spent uncountable hours taking care, driving to and from vet practices, worrying, crying, hugging and loving all animals without a home.

The work Viki does is so important - we are so proud to know her and we love her for her work, dedication, patience and endurance. ❤️
But she needs us continuously - otherwise, the world and work of a rescuer gets lonely and emotionally depleting.

Can we come together for Viki?

What it means to save lives in a place where animals have no rights.. in a country where they are left to roam in the streets hungry, left to create more innocent lives that will also encounter the same destiny..
Where I come from, sick animals are thrown on the street without a second thought, sometimes even before they have opened their eyes and separated from their mother – in the cruelest of conditions.
To be a rescuer in my country is exceptionally difficult. All these past years I have dedicated my life, my time and energy to rescuing these innocent and abandoned souls. I have never passed a soul in need. Their pain and suffering are mine, their struggle is my struggle. When I take them under my care, in that moment they become my responsibility, my legacy. All the dogs in my care currently (more than 30) have been saved from a certain death, and almost always in the last moment. They all have their own sad story.

For their safety, I built the improvised shelter they learned to think of as ‘home’ – where they play, they are safe and are fed and socialized. Making sure they are safe, clean and fed is only the starting point though. Considering that every dog I find and bring to the shelter is in terrible health and suffers either from deadly viruses when I find them, or they have broken legs, or are so malnourished they are barely alive – the real struggle begins then. Visiting the vet, making all necessary test and starting the therapies they need to survive – results in sleepless nights and so much heartache. Their sadness and pain are heartbreaking, not knowing whether they will survive the night. Most of the times we win the battles, but sometimes we don’t… I don’t do well when we lose the battles – with every lost life, a part of me also goes away.. But even after all those defeats I must find the strength to continue, because all the others that are left only have me, I am their whole world.
Can I even explain how much they love me? They live to hear the sound of my car approaching the shelter from afar, wagging their tails – and would rather cuddle with me than eat. In the village up in the mountain where the shelter is located – there are other stray dogs that roam in the neighborhood. I cannot take them to the shelter as well, as I am already stretched too thin – but I have neutered them and leave them food every day too. They run after my car and look for love and affection. Every day, waiting on the same spot by the road… I am inconsolable in winter, when the temperatures are low and the water freezes, when I have to carry water in bottles, bring straw to put in their little houses to keep them warm, and when I need to provide more food than usual to make sure they can handle the cold. In those moments my only wish is for them to have a forever home, a warm house to lay in, to stretch on a couch – surrounded by love.

That is the next struggle – as soon as they are healthy and stronger, I need to provide them with all the vaccines, neuter them, chip them and look for a home. In this whole story we are alone – my doggies and me. Whether it rains, snows or freezes, my place is there with them. My sweet souls that raise my spirits with their love even when I feel I can’t go on anymore.
I don’t know whether I managed to illustrate our story, our connection with all the love that exists, but this whole challenge becomes more difficult day by day. I no longer have food to give to them – those doggies that wait for me every day. This pains me to no end, as I have to feed them only with bread these last days. They only have me and I cannot fail them. .
We desperately need donations of any kind – whether it’s food,or any amount. Please support us in this fight, share it with your friends and your friends’ friends. Help us find homes for these doggies, so we can rescue more down the line. Help us make our dreams come true.
Be the wind in our backs, our supporters for the love of these wonderful fur babies.

Much love,

❗️❗️ WE NEED YOUR HELP 🙏

We are at a critical point and we desperately need your donations 🥺 Our food reserves are almost through - and we need to pay the rent for our shelter space as well.
We're overdue to neuter 5 female dogs, as well as provide deworming treatment (pills, collars) for all the dogs in our care + chipping and vaccines for 4 small dogs. 🐕🐩🐕‍🦺

Our situation is becoming more dire by the day, and we cannot sustain these costs, but our 4 legged friends are still our priority. Just yesterday, we rescued 3 new puppies that were abandoned to die in the middle of nowhere. They would certainly have died if we didn't look for them.. more on that, in the coming posts.

So small and yet you have so much goodness and sweetness in you.😍This morning while watching the snow fall, for the first time I don't worry where you might be and whether you found a spot to hide from the cold 😥

Even our neighbors will miss you, who kept a chair just for you in their garden.. and I remember how you would stretch between the flowers 🌹🌷🌻🐱

Maybe you will miss me too, but I promise that where you are now is much better❤🐾

🥰Today Blue and Bo were neutered. These two paw babies were very brave and after the procedure we cuddled and they gave me a million kisses. ☀️

There are many benefits to neutering including the prevention of some health and behavioral issues down the line.

♥️ I need your support again ♥️
Today I was greeted by slightly perkier pups, especially Greta. 🤗She seems to be a bit braver than her sister Gweny, and she's very protective of her. Who knows the trauma they've endured...I hope that soon they'll be able to trust me and understand that I'm just trying to show them what love is.🧡🖤

I'm confident that these are the sisters of two other puppies we would left in a box a week ago - Gail and Gaby. They are similar in appearance and age. However, they have to be separated for one more week and then they'll reunite. Would anyone be able to offer these beautiful souls a home? Let me know!

I need your support 🙏

Everyone who knows us, knows how long Millie has been waiting.. for no good reason!
She is a wonderful dog, sweet and gentle ❤️
After way too many years of waiting, Millie is now headed to the UK - and her new foster mom - until she finds her forever home 🌻
To say that this goodbye was hard, is an understatement ..
Millie, you brought so much joy! 🍀 But you deserve to have the most wonderful home 💕
We are so grateful you were part of our lives 🥰

May you have the most wonderful adventures, sweet girl ⭐

This was a long adventure, and she is so deserving of the happiest ending after such a long time waiting.

⭐⭐⭐
Another year goes by, a bit more difficult than others.. many challenges on our road – but we managed to pull through with hope that the light will conquer the darkness! Looking back, seeing the bigger picture – I acknowledge that my four legged friends remained my biggest motivation, they helped me through the toughest times. They were my light at the end of the tunnel, pulling me to the bright side. We were delighted to find homes for many in the United States, the UK, Belgium.. and they are all now living their dream! The list is long: Aron, Ada, Megan, Becca, Bora, Nala (all found their forever homes in the US), Toby, Adelle, JJ, Milo, Poppy, Viv, Nala, Nina, Nora, Lia, Baron, Arija.. there’s more!!! ❤🐕⭐

But our story, as always continues.. We found more abandoned puppies in boxes, sick and hungry .. we didn’t pass them by and they became part of our big family. Many vet visits later, vaccines distributed, neutering procedures, helping sick paw-friends.. we cannot seem to close the circle.

But throughout this whole struggle, our biggest hope was that we weren’t alone. Without all of you – this year would have been a failed mission. I cannot find the words to express my gratitude I feel for your help and support. You answered every call, showed up and together, we moved forward. The wagging tails I see every day are a testament to you all. 🌸
I know that there’s many more battles ahead, to find homes for the homeless, to love and take care of these helpless souls. They deserve their forever homes, happiness and so much love. Together, we are stronger.

Happy 2022!
Love – Viki and all her pawfriends!

⭐ Millie is looking for a home ⭐

🍀She’s a pittie mix 🐕
🍀 4 years old (born in 2017) 🍀female, medium size
🍀neutered
🍀 Currently in Skopje, North Macedonia
🍀Ready to travel within a month

Millie was found by Viki in the mountains above Skopje, when she was driving down from the shelter. She was only 3 months old then and Viki had to stop and get her because some bigger dogs were attacking her down the road. That is why Millie has some scars around her eyes. 😕

Other than that rough start at life, Millie has been an absolute angel in the shelter. ❤️ She gets along with all the other dogs, and loves being pet. She knows how to walk on a lead, and is playful and sweet ✨

She is always looking for hugs. We’d like to help Millie get a chance to find a forever family 🏡⭐♥️, because she so deserves it!

She still has many years of life ahead and she’s just the most adorable and gentle soul ☀️

If you'd like to know more about Millie, drop us a message ✨

❤️ UPDATE FROM TOTO

Do you recognize this little bug? Some weeks ago, I found him almost immobile, with diagnosed leishmaniasis and erlichia 😭
Because of your donations, and with intensive therapy and plenty of love 💕, Toto started getting better! 🎉

His blood results came out really good and the vet called this a ⭐miracle⭐!

What I truly believe in, was confirmed once again - everyone deserves a chance ☺️

Toto is now a happy little dog, smiling and wagging his tail 😍
chasing birds :)
My heart belongs to him now 🤍

But none of this would have been possible without your donations. 🙏 Thank you endlessly for your generosity and for believing in Toto ⭐
We collected the money for Milteforan and we will continue the treatment.

Toto will get better, because he deserves all the happiness in the world 🌍

🌞 Happy snooze weekend from our amazing girl Ada (now Winnie), who traveled all the way to San Francisco! 🥰

It was a long journey, but this princess is now ⭐home⭐.
Winnie is still learning how to live in a big city, she's scared of many sounds and prefers to be inside on the couch, cuddling with her toys. 🧸

She's slowly building her confidence and with proper training, we're sure that she will become unstoppable ☺️
That is what it means to adopt a rescue dog - it requires patience and perseverance. 🥇

We remind our adopters that while all behavioral issues can and should be worked on, it's not a guarantee that the adopted dog will manage to conform to their ideas of what kind of dog they will have. 🌱

Dogs have their own fears, memories, preferences, character. As adopters, the most important thing we can work on is accepting them for who they are. 💜💜💜

Adopt, don't shop! 🙏

‼🐾TOTO'S STORY ‼🐾
We need donations to get medication for this sweet white fur baby 🙏

I’d like to tell you the story of Toto, as it weighs heavy on my heart today… It’s heart-breaking but it portrays the reality of the countless street dogs I’ve met in my life.😔 As soon as he was born and barely weaned off his mother, Toto was left to face the cruelty of the streets on his own. For 7 years he survived, but never thrived on the streets, until one day he made it to a village on the outskirts of Skopje. His gentle soul and yearning for love and attention was noticed by the locals, and he once in a while would be lucky to get some food, and maybe a pet or ear scratch. Toto was so hungry for love, he would follow anyone who spoke to him, or even looked his way – wagging his tail and looking up expectantly.
That’s how I got to know Toto. As if he recognized me for the dog lover I am, we got to know each other and once in a while, he’d come running if he heard my voice or car as I parked in the area he frequented. And of course, he always got a full meal if I saw him! Those of you who know me will know I always have dry food and dog treats in my car – just in case! However, I started to see him less and less and began to worry… and the gut feeling I had was unfortunately right. Recently, I met one of the locals and they told me that Toto was very sick. He is weak, lost a lot of weight and is refusing to eat. This sounded nothing like my Toto. I was told that the people in whose garden he’s staying are considering putting him down, as perhaps crossing the rainbow bridge would be better than suffering until the end. I was taken to Toto and inn his eyes I saw that he is not ready to go, he’s asking for help. With a few weak tail wags while lying on his side, he told me that he’s ready to fight.
I took him to the vet and we ran some tests. Toto has ehrlichia, leishmaniasis and is anaemic. Trust me, I know it sounds horrible, but Toto can be helped! Many dogs with this diagnosis can live long, happy lives with the right care and medicine!
We’ve started Toto’s treatment but with the many dogs in my care, we need some help!🙏 Toto needs the medicine Milteforan (miltefosine) which costs €208, as well as further tests, bloodwork and vet visits to monitor his condition.
This is where my beloved friends, family and anyone else who reads this post comes in! If you are able to, please donate any amount you can afford to and help me help Toto.

⭐ To donate via PayPal ⭐ [email protected] (Please put a note: For Toto)

If not, please do not worry at all – a share or a like will help me share Toto’s message and more dog lovers will read about this furry ball of love.
My friend Toto deserves our help, and he deserves to live a long life with a family that will make sure he forgets what hardship and scavenging for food is.
Please consider donating and together we’ll get him back to the healthy, happy boy I know he is.
Thank you! 🙏
From Viki and her friend Toto❤🐾🙏

❤️ Wednesday PUPDATE ❤️
Having left last October to go to her forever family 🎉 in the US 🇺🇲, take a look at what a beautiful girl Reyna (formerly Dora) has become!

She is a very special and spoiled girl ✨ and her pawrents love her so much ❣️

Reyna's story has a special place in our hearts, and we're looking forward to another one of our amazing girls (Ada) going to her forever home to San Francisco ! 🌉
