Help “Labās mājas”! 2016

It all begun 16 years ago, when the first volunteers and enthusiasts started to save abandoned animals in Riga - cats and dogs. They found a way to create a small shelter for few animals. A little later a small plot of land with 14 cages specially for dogs was made. For many years it was the first animal shelter in Riga-Jugla. While working on everyday tasks like saving and taking care of animals, the bigger purpose wasn’t lost. The aim was to create a new functional shelter that fits all the animal welfare regulations. Thanks to supporters and sponsors the goal was achieved in 2012. “Labās mājas” (“Good home”) opened its door to give shelter to more than 60 dogs and 60 cats.

The goal was achieved and work continues.  Unlike government shelters which have backed funding for each animal for 14 days, we, “Labās mājas” (“Good home”), must support 70 percent of animals ourselves from our own resources. The problem is that “Labās mājas” (“Good home”) doesn’t have its own resources, we only have support from people – donations. With the help of donations, we have saved more than 8 and a half thousand animals since we first opened 15 years ago.

Every four legged animal that is troubled – lost, abandoned, hurt, tied to a tree in a forest, put in a bag for drowning and hung to a tree or diched, tortured in terrible conditions etc.-we can hurry to help them and provide safety and shelter only if you support “Labās mājas” (“Good home”)!

Every bite of food for every sick, healthy or underfed animal, every water drop that can be put in a bowl or is used to clean the cages is only available if you support “Labās mājas” (“Good home”)!

Every broken paw, hurting tummy, chain grown into flesh, torn or beaten wound – bigger or smaller health issues, including getting rid of worms, vaccination, sterilization that must be done, is only possible if you support “Labās mājas” (“Good home”)!

Every heartbeat and every breath, each and every animal present and future depends of you. If you support “Labās mājas” (“Good home”), then we are able to provide the animals with life. If there is no support, then shelter will become abandoned...

To provide for one dog for a day “Labās mājas” (“Good home”) needs 4 EUR per day.
To provide for one cat for a day “Labās mājas” (“Good home”) needs 1,80 EUR per day.
