"Urgent Cry for Salt Granules!"
The Salzgitter animal shelter is currently facing an urgent financial crisis, with veterinary treatment costs reaching around 48,000 euros already in the first half of 2025. This substantial expense is putting heavy strain on the shelter's resources, as their animals often require costly medical care.
To continue providing care and treatment, the shelter depends heavily on public donations. People can help by donating to the Tierschutzverein Salzgitter und Umgebung e.V. via bank transfer or PayPal:
- Bank: Sparkasse Hildesheim Goslar Peine
- IBAN: DE12 2595 0130 0077 0034 40
- PayPal link: www.paypal.me/tierheimsalzgitter
These donations are crucial to cover veterinary bills and ensure the animals have food, shelter, and medical attention. The shelter stresses that their animals are innocent and rely entirely on this support during these financially challenging times.
The wider regional context shows similar struggles at related animal welfare organizations, with increasing numbers of animals needing care but fewer available resources due to economic hardships among donors. Public help is therefore vital to safeguard the well-being of these vulnerable animals.
The Salzgitter animal shelter provides care for abandoned and found pets, taking on the costs for maintenance and care. In the past six months, 178 animals have been admitted to the shelter, many of them sick or with disabilities. The shelter has faced unexpectedly high costs for veterinary treatments this year, amounting to approximately 48,000 euros for the first half.
The employees of the Salzgitter animal shelter have posted on social media about their urgent problem. They are asking for donations to help with the high costs of veterinary treatments, which include measures such as dental treatments, tumor operations, hip problems, complex fractures, and special skin and fur care.
The situation in the Salzgitter animal shelter is so dire that the employees feel the need to go public with their concerns. Many of the animals at the shelter were deliberately abandoned, knowing that veterinary costs would be incurred. Currently, 130 animals reside at the shelter, including dogs, cats, rabbits, and birds.
The employees of the Salzgitter animal shelter believe that good work should pay off in the long run, but they are now addressing an urgent problem. They hope that the public will step up and help them continue their vital work, providing a second chance at a loving "forever home" for animals in need.
- In addition to their usual expenses, the Salzgitter animal shelter is seeking assistance in the realm of science, as they need funds for costly veterinary treatments for their animals, which include dental treatments, tumor operations, and skincare.
- Recognizing the importance of health-and-wellness for both humans and animals, the Salzgitter animal shelter's staff is advocating for mental-health, encouraging public donations to ensure the animals' continued well-being, including fitness-and-exercise through appropriate food, shelter, and medical attention.
