This is an excellent initiative for the Bosnian dogs.... Sarah Greenwood, who has worked in Bosnia Herzegovina for 12 years running a small UK charity, phoenix-aid, that she founded to provide healthcare and therapy training to war victims and disabled groups, is currently working on a plan to start a campaign to try to educate the general public in Bosnia Herzegovina about dogs to try to minimise the amount of cruelty to them, by showing the beneficial, and therapeutic use of dogs both in a domestic setting, and as help, for example guide dogs for the blind, hearing dogs for the deaf, therapy dogs for autistic children, and PTDS sufferers. This will address the therapeutic needs of humans, as well as give homes to stray dogs. The main theme though, is to change the perception of dogs being dirty and unclean and to be kept away from humans, to making them part of mainstream society and a beneficial animal to have about. Read more about Sarahs project at the link, and if you, too, think this is worth while idea, please consider supporting Sarah with a small donation to get her project off the ground. youcaring/mission-trip-fundraiser/bosdogs-4-people-/132484
