FOREST FIRES and the danger to animals

It's the time of year here in Turkey when we experience outbreaks of forest fires. Many stray dogs live in the forest areas, particularly in summer, because it's a little cooler. I have shared the following notice on Facebook, and am doing so again here.

AS A RESULT OF THE FOREST FIRES SWEEPING THE COASTAL AREAS, THERE HAVE BEEN INCIDENTS OF ANIMAL SHELTERS BEING AFFECTED, AND STRAYS LIVING IN THE FORESTS BEING INJURED.

I AM POSTING AS MUCH INFORMATION AS I CAN, BUT IF ANYONE LIVING OR STAYING IN AREAS AFFECTED BY THE FIRES COULD MAKE DIRECT CONTACT WITH THEIR LOCAL ANIMAL SHELTERS TO SEE IF HELP IS NEEDED, THIS WOULD BE VERY HELPFUL. THANKS EVERYONE X

Areas affected so far: Marmaris, Dalaman, Fethiye.

Welcome

The purpose of this blog is to inform you of the wonderful work being done by the Turkish Animal Group for the street dogs of Turkey.

Dogs are rescued from the streets and taken to the TAG shelter, where they are fed, receive vet treatment for parasites, all vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. TAG then work to find new homes for these dogs, both in Turkey and Europe. We also go out into the streets and the forests to feed strays, and gradually neuter them.

All this costs an awful lot of money, and we rely on donations, auctions and other fundraising. If you cannot adopt, please think about sponsoring one or more of our dogs, or donate to our charity. You can visit our Facebook page here https://www.facebook.com/pages/Turkish-Animal-Group-TAG-Dog-Adoptables/193092287368884 or to donate click on the link for Donations below.

This blog will be posting photos of our shelter dogs and their stories, information about the TAG team, fundraising events, and lots more.
