Dog shelter of Ukrainian Brigitte Bardo
A spontaneous shelter for homeless pets arose in the country site near Moscow
We help Ray helpElena Gennadievna is a spilled Brigitte Bardo, only she may not be so many years as a French movie star, and, without a doubt, she has many times less money. All money - and these are scarce pennies from spontaneous veterinary consultations and minibrists - go to the maintenance of homeless dogs and cats. With Brigitte Bardo Elena Gennadievna, not only a similar type of former beauty is related, but also a certain madness, which is expressed, in particular, in frantic, to self -denial, love for abandoned and homeless animals.
Elena Gennadievna was born in Magnitogorsk, once had a long time to “marry Kharkov”, and today she is a citizen of Ukraine, although he has been living in Russia since 1996. According to her, this is a misunderstanding: now she, the convinced “quilted jacket”, consists in the program to relocate compatriots and in the next (probably hundredth) times preparing documents for providing her with Russian citizenship.
Elena's pets (photo by Oleg Nikishin/Epsilon) Photo: Oleg Nikishin/Epsilon for TDElena Gennadievna, according to her, is a former director of a several fairy -tale institution called the Research Institute of Youth and Longevity. From her stories we can conclude that she once was engaged in biology. Now, if necessary, I practically mastered the profession of a veterinarian. Elena Gennadievna loves Putin, her dogs and her cats, and she clearly loves the latter more than the president of Russia, who for some reason believes unconditionally. She talks a lot about him and the appearance of the “great country”, whose citizenship she is trying to restore. This is interspersed with descriptions of the life of her wards.
And there are plenty of Elena Gennadievna. She lives in a wagon heated with a miniature radiator and installed almost in the center of the site with an area of five acres, turned into a dog aviary. Elena Gennadievna’s spontaneous village shelter is located in the Garden Partnership “Dawn” near Moscow.

All well -fed and impudent, which only animals that they really love can be. Dogs are a favorite Mishka, as well as Nora, Daisy, Penny, Lara, a top, Hector, Tina and Cherry. Elena Gennadievna lived two dogs for a long time, the rest appeared after she picked up a pregnant hole in the area of summer cottages. “I could not leave them, although I understood how it would be not easy for me,” says Elena Gennadievna. “However, with them, I felt a completely different power of nature, the power of water, sky, light, sun.” According to her, leaving for someone else's life gives her previously unknown forces herself. She is not afraid of anything else: neither police, nor neighbors, nor cold, nor hunger, nor poverty that she was used to.
Moreover, the Ray Foundation, which Elena Gennadievna believes, believes with different problems. “Ray” is very attentive to my spontaneous small shelter. It is amazing that they just believed me, did not ask for any papers and documents, they just arrived and brought animal food. Now I know that I can always get volunteer, curatorial, veterinary assistance, food for animals, and even sterilization services, ”says Elena Gennadievna. Under the supervision of the Ray Foundation, there are about 100 thousand homeless animals from many small private shelters of Moscow and Moscow Region.
This is a cheerful and meowing family lives in a trailer, sleeps on the same bed and warms up at a white radiatorGod (as Elena Gennadievna says, who loves Leo Tolstoy) is in his various children, in such simple creatures as spotted and muzzle cat Sonya, almost puddy weight. Or a gray-striped, like a classic mattress, a damn mocked cat Stepan. Or his good friend is a single -mastic cat Chris.

The main expenses are for feed, but with the “meat”, according to the hostess, “she copes”, but good people bring different cereals and drinking water in plastic bottles. If there is no water, then Elena Gennadievna acts in the old fashioned way: it just melts snow.
So they have been living since the beginning of last fall: the summer neighbors were unhappy, threw the aviary with stones and even shot at the site by idle cartridges. Winter neighbors turned out to be less strict: with the help of multi -experienced bears and top in the SNT "Dawn" a thief was caught: the villain cut off the electric wires.
Elena Gennadievna is completely aware that she interferes with her pets with her pets. “People come outside the city, for their personal dachas in search of silence, and no one has the right to encroach on this silence, including me with dogs. But we also need to go somewhere! "
Dogs here are expanded, but by summer you will have to look for another refuge - summer residents are unhappy (photo by Oleg Nikishin/Epsilon) Photo: Oleg Nikishin/Epsilon for TDAll animals are observed by a veterinarian (for free, of course, by a happy chance of this veterinarian a good heart), all are sterilized. For the next spring and summer, Elena Gennadievna plans to leave the country cooperative "somewhere closer to a large shelter or in a real village, where there are few neighbors." At the same time, we are talking about giving their dogs and cats to the shelter in Elena Gennadievna anger, excitement and panic: “I see how animals live in shelters. All life in a cage, occasionally someone will come and take a walk. This is a prison! " According to her, there are many honest people among those who are engaged in shelters, but there are also doghanters. So the dogs and cats from the SNT “Dawn” will not leave for any shelter, but Elena Gennadievna is still looking for good hands. “Not so long ago I gave one of my dogs to my family. But I saw that this is a good family, what parents are there and what children are there! I am not scared for my baby! " Elena Gennadievna also wishes the same happy fate to the rest of the pets: “I dream that my guys and girls fall into good kind hands! There is no shelter, but in a large good family - with pleasure! "
Elena Gennadievna has grandiose plans. For example, she wants to engage in the manufacture of special dog food based on serum (she, of course, perfectly understands that the feed should be certified by the veterinary academy, but first it is necessary to create, and then submitted for certification). In addition, the plans include the manufacture of electronic vaccinations (a collar plate), as well as therapeutic clothing (blankets) and medical supplies for dogs (bedspreads, dressings).

The Ray Charity Fund for helping homeless animals helps those who cannot ask for help - homeless cats and dogs. The fund not only selects abandoned animals, but helps systematically - works with almost all the shelters of Moscow and the Moscow Region and coordinates the efforts of volunteers. For those who decided to take a dog or a cat from the shelter, the fund’s website has not only a selection of animals that are looking for a house, but also a questionnaire in which you can state all the wishes for a future cat or dog, and volunteers of the fund and shelters will pick you up a suitable friend. There you can fill out an application if you want to transfer help, become a volunteer of the fund or one of the shelters, help with the transportation of animals, temporarily shelter a cat or dog, or are ready to organize an animal photo shoot. If you just want to help the fund so that it brings the feed to Mishka, Nora and other wards of Elena Gennadievna, so that they quickly find a warm house and a good family, you can arrange a regular donation.
